The role of the $\eta NN$-interaction is studied in the low energy regime in $\eta$-deuteron reactions as well as in coherent and incoherent $\eta$-photoproduction on the deuteron using a three-body model with separable two-body…
A detailed study of the effect of the $\eta$-nucleus final state interaction (FSI) in the $p d \to ^3$He$ \eta$ reaction close to threshold is presented. The FSI is incorporated through a T-matrix for $\eta ^3$He elastic scattering,…
Using the quark-meson coupling (QMC) model, we investigate theoretically whether $\eta$ and $\omega$ mesons form meson-nucleus bound states. We study several nuclei from $^{6}$He to $^{208}$Pb, including those which are the final nuclei in…
We review the current status of our study of $K^-$-nuclear interactions and $K^-$-nuclear quasi-bound states. The adopted $K^-$-nuclear optical potential consists of two parts -- the single-nucleon one constructed microscopically from…
Superscaling analyses of few-GeV inclusive electron scattering from nuclei are extended to include not only quasielastic processes, but now also into the region where $\Delta$-excitation dominates. It is shown that, with reasonable…

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 production of $\eta$ mesons in $NN$ collisions in the near threshold region is analyzed with special emphasis on the role of final state interaction which is calculated using three-body scattering theory. The three-body aspects are…
It is shown that the striking energy variation in the $p\, d \rightarrow \mbox{$^{\, 3}{\rm He}$}\, \eta$ cross section near threshold is probably due to a final state interaction associated with a large (complex) $\eta -\mbox{$^{3}{\rm…
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,…

Possible existence of $(c\bar{c})-$nucleus bound states are examined. We adopt Gaussian potentials for the $\eta_{c}-N$ and $J/\psi-N$ interactions. The relations between the scattering lengths $a$ of $(c\bar{c})-N$ interactions and the…
We report on our recent self-consistent calculations of $K^-$ nuclear quasi-bound states using $K^-$ optical potentials derived from chirally motivated meson-baryon coupled channels models [1,2]. The $K^-$ single-nucleon potentials were…
