The production of eta' mesons in photon- and hadron-induced reactions has been revisited in view of the recent additions of high-precision data to the world data base. Based on an effective Lagrangian approach, we have performed a combined…
We analyze the $\eta N$ interaction using a coupled channel separable potential model that implements the chiral symmetry. The model predicts an $\eta N$ stattering length $\Re a_{\eta N} \approx 0.7$ fm and in-medium subthreshold…
The experimental data of the COSY-GEM Collaboration for the recoil-free transfer reaction p (27Al, 3He) \pi - p' X, leading to the formation of bound state of eta (\eta) meson in 25Mg nucleus, is reanalyzed in this paper. In particular,…
Correct treatment of subthreshold Kbar-N dynamics is mandatory in kaonic-atom and Kbar-nuclear bound-state calculations, as demonstrated by using in-medium chirally-based models of Kbar-N interactions. Recent studies of kaonic-atom data…
The cross section and tensor analysing power t_20 of the d\vec{d}->eta 4He reaction have been measured at six c.m. momenta, 10 < p(eta) < 90 MeV/c. The threshold value of t_20 is consistent with 1/\sqrt{2}, which follows from parity…

The possible existence of $\eta$-mesic nuclei poses an interesting and still open issue of research. Since the occurence of such $\eta$-nucleus bound states is reflected in the corresponding $\eta$-nucleus scattering length, we critically…
Using multiple scattering theory the scattering lengths of $\eta$ mesons on helium nuclei are calculated and checked against final state $\eta$ interactions from the $pd \rightarrow \eta ^3$He and $dd \rightarrow \eta ^4$He reactions. The…
In this report the search for eta-mesic nuclei is reviewed. The brief description of the experimental studies is presented with a focus on the possible production of the eta-nucleus bound states for light nuclei like 4He and 3He.
We show that the S-wave $\eta N$ scattering length can be extracted in a model independent way within the scope of the multichannel model, but with the restricting assumption that only one resonance is included per partial wave. One has…
The existence of eta-mesic nuclei in which the eta meson is bound in a nucleus by means of the strong interaction was postulated already in 1986, albeit not yet confirmed it by experiment. The discovery of this new kind of an exotic nuclear…
The in-medium mass of the $\eta^{\prime}$ meson is discussed in a context of partial restoration of chiral symmetry in nuclear medium. The $\eta^{\prime}$ mass is expected to be reduced by order of 100 MeV at the saturation density. The…
We present a new, mathematically rigorous, method suitable for bound state and scattering processes calculations for various three atomic or molecular systems where the underlying forces are of a hard-core nature. We employed this method to…

The three-nucleon system is studied at energies a few hundred keV above the N-d threshold. Measurements of the tensor analyzing powers $T_{20}$ and $T_{21}$ for p-d elastic scattering at $E_{c.m.}=432$ keV are presented together with the…
We perform an updated coupled-channel analysis of eta-meson production including all recent photoproduction data on the proton. The dip observed in the differential cross sections at c.m. energies W=1.68 GeV is explained by destructive…
$\Upsilon$ and $\eta_b$ nuclear bound state energies are calculated for various nuclei neglecting any possible effects of the widths. Essential input for the calculations, namely the medium-modified $B$ and $B^{*}$ meson masses, as well as…
When the $\bar{K}N$ system is submerged in nuclear medium the $\bar{K}N$ scattering amplitude and the final state branching ratios exhibit a strong energy dependence when going to energies below the $\bar{K}N$ threshold. A sharp increase of…
$K^-$ optical potentials relevant to calculations of $K^-$ nuclear quasi-bound states were developed within several chiral meson-baryon coupled-channel interaction models. The applied models yield quite different $K^-$ binding energies and…
