Abstract

This paper describes an experiment designed to search for a new form of nuclear matter—a bound η‐nucleus system. The (π+,p) reaction was used to study the possible formation of an η‐mesic nucleus. No narrow η‐nuclear bound states were observed using Li, 12C, 16O and 27Al targets. The results of this experiment have now been published elsewhere by Chrien et al.
