Search for η-Mesic Nuclei at J-PARC

arXiv:1011.0881

Abstract

The merits of searching for η-mesic nuclei by use of the (π, N) reaction at J-PARC is discussed, by comparison with an old experiment with the same reaction at BNL in 1980's. The importance of a pilot experiment using deuterium target is also stressed for a better understanding of the background which should exist even after the coincidence of the decay particles of η-mesic nuclei.
