We study eta meson properties in the infinite nuclear matter and in atomic nuclei with an emphasis on effects of the eta coupling to N*(1535)--nucleon-hole modes. The N*(1535) resonance, which dominates the low-energy eta-nucleon scattering, can be seen as a chiral partner of the nucleon. The change of the chiral mass gap between the N* and the nucleon in a nuclear medium has an impact on the properties of the eta-nucleus system. If the N*-nucleon mass gap decreases with a density increase (chiral symmetry restoration) the calculations show the existence of the resonance state at the energy about 60 MeV and two bound eta-nucleus states with the binding energies about -80 MeV. These states can have strong effect on predicted cross sections of the ^12C (gamma,p) ^11B reaction with eta-meson production.

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.
The structure and the energy spectrum of the $eta^{prime}$ mesonic nuclei are investigated in a relativistic mean field theory. One expects a substantial attraction for the $eta^{prime}$ meson in finite nuclei due to the partial restoration of chiral
symmetry in the nuclear medium. Such a hadronic scale interaction for the $eta^{prime}$ mesonic nuclei may provide modification of the nuclear structure. The relativistic mean field theory is a self-contained model for finite nuclei which provides the saturation property within the model, and is good to investigate the structure change of the nucleus induced by the $eta^{prime}$ meson. Using the local density approximation for the mean fields, we solve the equations of motion for the nucleons and the $eta^{prime}$ meson self-consistently, and obtain the nuclear density distribution and the $eta^{prime}$ energy spectrum for the $eta^{prime}$ mesonic nuclei. We take $^{12}$C, $^{16}$O and $^{40}$Ca for the target nuclei. We find several bound states of the $eta^{prime}$ meson for these nuclei thanks to the attraction for $eta^{prime}$ in nuclei. We also find a sufficient change of the nuclear structure especially for the $1s$ bound state of $eta^{prime}$. This implies that the production of the $1s$ bound state in nuclear reaction may be suppressed.
We calculate theoretically the formation spectra of eta(958)-nucleus systems in the (p,d) reaction for the investigation of the in-medium modification of the eta mass. We show the comprehensive numerical calculations based on a simple form of the eta
optical potential in nuclei with various potential depths. We conclude that one finds an evidence of possible attractive interaction between eta and nucleus as peak structure appearing around the eta threshold in light nuclei such as 11C when the attractive potential is stronger than 100 MeV and the absorption width is of order of 40 MeV or less. Spectroscopy of the (p,d) reaction is expected to be performed experimentally at existing facilities, such as GSI. We also estimate the contributions from the omega and phi mesons, which have masses close to the eta meson, concluding that the observation of the peak structure of the eta-mesic nuclei is not disturbed although their contributions may not be small.
We calculate formation spectra of eta-nucleus systems in (pi,N) reactions with nuclear targets, which can be performed at existing and/or forthcoming facilities, including J-PARC, in order to investigate eta-nucleus interactions. Based on the N^*(153
5) dominance in the eta N system, eta-mesic nuclei are suitable systems for study of in-medium properties of the N^*(1535) baryon resonance, such as reduction of the mass difference of N and N^* in nuclear medium, which affects level structure of the eta and N^*-hole modes. We find that clear information on the in-medium N^*- and eta-nucleus interactions can be obtained through the formation spectra of the eta-mesic nuclei. We also discuss the experimental feasibilities by showing several spectra of (pi,N) reactions calculated with possible experimental settings. Coincident measurements of pi N pairs from the N^* decays in nuclei help us to reduce backgrounds.
We demonstrate that the binding energies and widths of eta-mesic nuclei depend strongly on subthreshold eta-N interaction. This strong dependence is made evident from comparing three different eta-nucleus optical potentials: (1) a microscopic optical
potential taking into account the full effects of off-shell eta-nucleon interactions; (2) a factorization approximation to the microscopic optical potential where a downward energy shift parameter is introduced to approximate the subthreshold eta-nucleon interaction; and (3) an optical potential using on-shell eta-nucleon scattering length as the interaction input. Our analysis indicates that the in-medium $eta$N interaction for bound-state formation is about 30 MeV below the free-space $eta$N threshold, which causes a substantial reduction of the attractive force between the $eta$ and nucleon with respect to that implied by the scattering length. Consequently, the scattering-length approach overpredicts the binding energies and caution must be exercised when these latter predictions are used as guide in searching for $eta$-nucleus bound states. We also show that final-state-interaction analysis cannot provide an unequivocal determination of the existence of $eta$-nucleus bound state. More direct measurements are, therefore, necessary.
