Eta-mesic nucleus or the quasibound nuclear state of an eta ($\eta$) meson in a nucleus is caused by strong-interaction force alone. This new type of nuclear species, which extends the landscape of nuclear physics, has been extensively…

The \eta-meson collision with light nuclei, ^2H, ^3H, ^3He, and ^4He, is considered on the basis of a microscopic approach which utilises Faddeev type and Lippmann-Schwinger equations. The nuclear hamiltonian is approximated by the finite…

In two recent analyses of eta meson production a very small imaginary part was obtained for the eta-He3 scattering length, which is in contradiction with most theoretical predictions. In this report a plausible explanation is given to this…
Even if the theoretical definition of an unstable state is straightforward, its experimental identification often depends on the method used in the analysis and extraction of data. A good example is the case of eta mesic nuclei where strong…
The eta-deuteron scattering amplitude is calculated with a recent K-matrix model of eta-N interactions. The existence of a narrow virtual state in the eta-deuteron system is inferred. This state couples strongly to the eta-d channel but its…
We evaluate for the first time the $\eta^\prime p$ femtoscopic correlation function to study the $\eta^\prime N$ interaction. We find it extremely sensitive to the value of the $\eta^\prime p$ scattering length, for which at present there…
