$\eta NNN$ and $\eta NNNN$ bound states are explored in stochastic variational method (SVM) calculations within a pionless effective field theory (EFT) approach at leading order. The theoretical input consists of regulated $NN$ and $NNN$…
The strong energy dependence of the s-wave eta-N scattering amplitude at and below threshold, as evident in coupled-channels K-matrix fits and chiral models that incorporate the S11 N*(1535) resonance, is included self-consistently in…
The optical potential for the $\eta$-meson is calculated. This is based on a new determination of a large $\eta$-N scattering length and recent experiments of $\eta$ production in two nucleon collisions. These determine the $\eta$ - nuclear…
The $\eta$ meson can be bound to atomic nuclei. Experimental search is discussed in the form of final state interaction for the reactions $dp\to{^3\text{He}}\eta$ and $dd\to{^4\text{He}}\eta$. For the latter case tensor polarized deuterons…

The possibility for the existence of unstable bound states of the S11 nucleon resonance N$^*$(1535) and nuclei is investigated. These quasibound states are speculated to be closely related to the existence of the quasibound states of the…
Observing $\eta'$-nuclear quasibound states requires that the $\eta'$-nuclear potential is both sufficiently attractive and weakly absorptive, as confirmed by the CBELSA/TAPS collaboration analysis of inclusive $\eta'$ production…
The necessary conditions of quasi-bound state formation of $\eta$-meson with isotopes $^{3}$He, $^{4}$He have been found within the framework of optical potential model. These conditions have been compared with the findings about helium…
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 energies and widths of bound states of the $\eta$ meson in different nuclei are obtained using the results for its selfenergy in a nuclear medium, which is evaluated in a selfconsistent manner using techniques of unitarized chiral…

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…
The position and movement of poles of the amplitude for elastic eta-meson scattering off the light nuclei d, t, ^3He, and ^4He are studied. It is found that, within the existing uncertainties for the elementary eta-N interaction, all these…
We investigate theoretically whether it is feasible to detect $\eta$- and $\omega$-nucleus bound states. As well as the closed shell nuclei, $^{16}$O, $^{40}$Ca, $^{90}$Zr and $^{208}$Pb, we also investigate $^6$He, $^{11}$B and $^{26}$Mg,…
