Search for η-mesic nuclei: a review of experimental and theoretical advances
In the mid-1980s, theoreticians predicted possible exotic states of an eta (η) meson and a nucleus bound by the strong interaction, so-called mesic nucleus. This led to extensive experimental efforts aimed at discovering such unstable states as well as understanding the underlying interactions via η...
