Status of the search for $\eta$-mesic nuclei with particular focus on $\eta$-Helium bound states

Abstract

In this paper the search for eta-mesic nuclei with particular focus on light $\eta$-He bound states is reviewed. A brief description of recent theoretical studies and experimental results is presented.
