K-Mesic Nuclei Versus eta -Mesic Nuclei
Abstract
The nuclear states of K and η are bound by a similar mechanism - the excitations of nucleons to (1405) and N*(1535) resonant states. The observed large differences in binding energies are understood in terms of separation of the involved energies and the resonance positions. The other experimental findings: broad K-mesic and narrow η -mesic states are more difficult to understand. A phenomenological model for η -N interactions is used to explain the suppression of the η absorption in light nuclei.
