There is much speculation and a modest amount of evidence that certain mesons might form quasi-bound states with nuclei to produce really exotic states of matter. For this to be a practical possibility, the interaction between the meson and nucleons at low energies must be strong and attractive and the production rates healthy. The conditions for this are surveyed for the light mesons. How this might lead to quasi-bound states is then discussed in a few typical cases.

A novel method is proposed to measure eta(958) meson bound states in 11C nuclei by missing mass spectroscopy of the 12C(p,d) reaction near the eta production threshold. It is shown that peak structures will be observed experimentally in an inclusive
measurement in case that the in-medium eta mass reduction is sufficiently large and that the decay width of eta mesic states is narrow enough. Such a measurement will be feasible with the intense proton beam supplied by the SIS synchrotron at GSI combined with the good energy resolution of the fragment separator FRS.
We are going to perform an inclusive spectroscopy experiment of eta mesic nuclei with the 12C(p,d) reaction to study in-medium properties of the eta meson. In nuclear medium, the eta meson mass may be reduced due to partial restoration of chiral symm
etry. In case of sufficiently large mass reduction and small absorption width of eta at normal nuclear density, peak structures of eta mesic states in 11C will be observed near the eta emission threshold even in an inclusive spectrum. The experiment will be carried out at GSI with proton beam supplied by SIS using FRS as a spectrometer. The detail of the experiment is described.
A brief review of searches for eta-mesic nuclei is presented with emphasis on photoreactions and results of a new experiment done at the LPI electron synchrotron are reported. Decay products of eta-mesic nuclei presumably formed by photons in a carbo
n target, namely correlated back-to-back (pi+ n) and (p n) pairs, have been studied with a two-arm time-of-flight setup. The obtained data show that apart from previously observed (pi+ n) pairs from one-nucleon annihilation of stopped etas (via eta N --> pi N) correlated (p n) pairs from two-nucleon absorption of eta in the nucleus (via eta NN --> NN) are also ejected with a comparable rate. The cross section of eta-mesic nuclei photoproduction off carbon was estimated from the obtained data to be less than 10 microbarn.
Eta-mesic nucleus or the quasibound nuclear state of an eta ($eta$) meson in a nucleus is caused by strong-interaction force alone. This new type of nuclear species, which extends the landscape of nuclear physics, has been extensively studied since i
ts prediction in 1986. In this paper, we review and analyze in great detail the models of the fundamental $eta$--nucleon interaction leading to the formation of an $eta$--mesic nucleus, the methods used in calculating the properties of a bound $eta$, and the approaches employed in the interpretation of the pertinent experimental data. In view of the successful observation of the $eta$--mesic nucleus $^{25}$Mg$_{eta}$ and other promising experimental results, future direction in searching for more $eta$--mesic nuclei is suggested.
A new experiment is proposed with the aim to study eta-mesic nuclei and low-energy interactions of eta with nuclei. Two decay modes of eta produced by a photon beam inside a nucleus will be observed, namely a collisional decay eta N to pi N inside th
e nucleus and the radiative decay eta to gamma gamma outside. In addition, a collisional decay of stopped S_{11}(1535) resonance inside the nucleus, S_{11}(1535) N to N N, will be studied. The experiment can be performed using the tagged photon beam at ESRF with the end-point energy 1000 MeV and the GRAAL detector which includes a high-resolution BGO calorimeter and a large acceptance lead-scintillator time-of-flight wall. Some results of simulation and estimates of yields are given.
