We study the effect of hadron structure changes in a nuclear medium using the quark–
meson coupling (QMC) model. The QMC model is based on a mean field description of non …

Studies of meson production at threshold in the hadron-hadron interaction began in the
fifties when sufficient energies of accelerated protons were available. A strong …

The quasifree p+ n→ d+ η reaction cross section has been measured in the near-threshold
region using deuterium from an internal cluster-jet target and 1350 MeV protons in the …

The energies and widths of bound states of the η meson in different nuclei are obtained
using the results for its selfenergy in a nuclear medium, which is evaluated in a …

Coherent photoproduction of η-mesons off 3He, ie the reaction γ3He→ η3He, has been
investigated in the near-threshold region. The experiment was performed at the Glasgow …

We demonstrate that the binding energies ε η and widths Γ η of η-mesic nuclei depend
strongly on the subthreshold η-nucleon interaction. This strong dependence is made evident …

The search for He 4-η bound states was performed with the WASA-at-COSY facility via the
measurement of the excitation function for the dd→ He 3 n π 0 and dd→ He 3 p π …

The quasifree p+ n→ d+ η reaction cross section has been measured at the threshold using
1295 MeV protons in the CELSIUS storage ring and an internal cluster-jet deuterium target …

Back in the mid-1980s, a new branch of investigation related to the interaction of eta mesons
with nuclei came into existence. It started with the theoretical prediction of possible exotic …

We discuss the possibility to use the recoilless (d, 3 He) reaction to produce bound states of
η and ω mesons in light nuclei. We calculate meson bound states in the nucleus using an …
