Abstract

Using the Green function method, binding effects on produced eta-mesons in the two-stage reaction γ+ A N + η+ (A-1) N + (πN) + (A-2) are studied. The energy spectrum of the correlated pi-N pairs which arise from decays of etas inside the nucleus is strongly affected by an attractive eta-nucleus optical potential. Its resonant behavior gives a clear signal of formating intermediate eta-mesic nuclei.
