We measured missing mass spectrum of the $^{12}{rm C}(gamma,p)$ reaction for the first time in coincidence with potential decay products from $eta$ bound nuclei. We tagged an ($eta+p$) pair associated with the $etaNtoeta N$ process in a nucleus. Afte r applying kinematical selections to reduce backgrounds, no signal events were observed in the bound-state region. An upper limit of the signal cross section in the opening angle $costheta^{eta p}_{lab}<-0.9$ was obtained to be 2.2 nb/sr at the 90$%$ confidence level. It is compared with theoretical cross sections, whose normalization ambiguity is suppressed by measuring a quasifree $eta$ production rate. Our results indicate a small branching fraction of the $etaNtoeta N$ process and/or a shallow $eta$-nucleus potential.
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.
The mass of the {eta} meson is theoretically expected to be reduced at finite density, which indicates the existence of {eta}-nucleus bound states. To investigate these states, we perform missing-mass spectroscopy for the (p, d) reaction near the {et a} production threshold. The overview of the experimental situation is given and the current status is discussed.
Excitation-energy spectra of $^{11}$C nuclei near the $eta^prime$-meson production threshold have been measured by missing-mass spectroscopy using the $^{12}$C($p$,$d$) reaction. A carbon target has been irradiated with a 2.5 GeV proton beam supplied by the synchrotron SIS-18 at GSI to produce $eta^prime$ meson bound states in $^{11}$C nuclei. Deuterons emitted at $0^circ$ in the reaction have been momentum-analyzed by the fragment separator (FRS) used as a high-resolution spectrometer. No distinct structure due to the formation of $eta^prime$-mesic states is observed although a high statistical sensitivity is achieved in the experimental spectra. Upper limits on the formation cross sections of $eta^prime$-mesic states are determined, and thereby a constraint imposed on the $eta^prime$-nucleus interaction is discussed.

The ${}^{12}mathrm{C}(alpha,gamma){}^{16}mathrm{O}$ reaction plays a key role in the evolution of stars with masses of $M >$ 0.55 $M_odot$. The cross-section of the ${}^{12}mathrm{C}(alpha,gamma){}^{16}mathrm{O}$ reaction within the Gamow window ($E_ textrm{c.m.}$ = 300 keV, $T_textrm9$ = 0.2) is extremely small (about $10^{-17}$ barn), which makes the direct measurement in a ground-based laboratory with existing techniques unfeasible. Up until now, the cross-sections at lower energies can only be extrapolated from the data at higher energies. However, two subthreshold resonances, located at $E_x$ = 7.117 MeV and $E_x$ = 6.917 MeV, make this extrapolation more complicated. In this work, the 6.917 MeV subthreshold resonance in the ${}^{12}mathrm{C}(alpha,gamma){}^{16}mathrm{O}$ reaction was investigated via the ${}^{12}mathrm{C}({}^{11}mathrm{B},{}^{7}mathrm{Li}){}^{16}mathrm{O}$ reaction. The experiment was performed using the Q3D magnetic spectrograph at the HI-13 tandem accelerator. We measured the angular distribution of the ${}^{12}mathrm{C}({}^{11}mathrm{B},{}^{7}mathrm{Li}){}^{16}mathrm{O}$ transfer reaction leading to the 6.917 MeV state. Based on the FRDWBA analysis, we derived the asymptotic normalization coefficient (ANC) of the 6.917 MeV level in $^{16}$O to be (1.10 $pm$ 0.29) $times 10^{10}$ fm$^{-1}$, with which the reduced $alpha$ width was computed to be $18.0pm4.7$ keV at the channel radius of 6.5 fm. Finally, we calculated the astrophysical $S_{E2}(300)$ factor of the ground-state transitions to be 46.2 $pm$ 7.7 keV b. The result for the astrophysical $S_{E2}(300)$ factor confirms the values obtained in various direct and indirect measurements and presents an independent examination of the most important data in nuclear astrophysics.
