The results of the search quasi bound state η-meson and nucleus of the target obtained during several years on the internal target of the Nuclotron beam are represented. Formation of η-mesic nuclei studied in d+C reaction in the interval of energies $1.5 \div 2.1 GeV/nucl$ . The phenomena was analyzed for product of decay $S_{11}$ resonance what is the result of capture η-meson by a nucleon of the target. The measurement has performed with a scintillation spectrometer SCAN. Analysis of the obtained results is presented.

Meson–nucleus potentials and the search for meson–nucleus bound states
2017, Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics
Recent experiments studying the meson–nucleus interaction to extract meson–nucleus potentials are reviewed. The real part of the potentials quantifies whether the interaction is attractive or repulsive while the imaginary part describes the meson absorption in nuclei. The review is focused on mesons which are sufficiently long-lived to potentially form meson–nucleus quasi-bound states. The presentation is confined to meson production off nuclei in photon-, pion-, proton-, and light-ion induced reactions and heavy-ion collisions at energies near the production threshold. Tools to extract the potential parameters are presented. In most cases, the real part of the potential is determined by comparing measured meson momentum distributions or excitation functions with collision model or transport model calculations. The imaginary part is extracted from transparency ratio measurements. Results on $K^{+}, K^{0}, K^{-}, η, η^{'}, ω$ , and $ϕ$ mesons are presented and compared with theoretical predictions. The interaction of $K^{+}$ and $K^{0}$ mesons with nuclei is found to be weakly repulsive, while the $K^{-}, η, η^{'}, ω$ and $ϕ$ meson–nucleus potentials are attractive, however, with widely different strengths. Because of meson absorption in the nuclear medium the imaginary parts of the meson–nucleus potentials are all negative, again with a large spread. An outlook on planned experiments in the charm sector is given. In view of the determined potential parameters, the criteria and chances for experimentally observing meson–nucleus quasi-bound states are discussed. The most promising candidates appear to be the $η$ and $η^{'}$ mesons.
Production of η and η′ mesons on nucleons and nuclei
2015, Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics
The production of $η$ and $η^{'}$ mesons in photon- and hadron-induced reactions on free and quasi-free nucleons and on nuclei is reviewed. The extensive database on $γ N \to η N$ , for both proton and neutron targets, is described in detail and its implications for the search for $N^{⋆}$ resonances much heavier than the dominant $S_{11} (1535)$ discussed. Though less is currently known about the production of the $η^{'}$ or of $η π$ pairs, these also offer tantalizing prospects in the search for the missing isobars. The more limited data available on pion-induced production are still necessary ingredients in the partial wave analysis discussed.
The production of the $η$ -meson in $p p$ and $p n$ collisions shows once again the strong influence of the $S_{11} (1535)$ isobar, which is in contrast to the relatively weak behaviour seen near threshold for $η^{'}$ production. This difference is reflected in the important final state interaction effects of the $η$ in nuclei that may even lead to this meson being “bound” in some systems. The evidence for this is reviewed for both $γ A$ and $p A$ collisions. The inclusive photoproduction of $η$ , $η^{'}$ , and $η π$ pairs from nuclei provides further information regarding the production mechanism and the interaction of the $η$ and $η^{'}$ with nuclei and the $η π$ pairs may even allow access to low mass $η A$ systems that are forbidden in direct single-meson photoproduction.
