We propose to use the recoilless (d, 3 He) reaction to produce η-mesic nuclei. This reaction has been used to observe deeply bound pionic states and proven to be powerful recently. We calculate η-mesic bound states in the nucleus using an optical potential and their formation cross section with the Green function method. Then, we carefully check the experimental feasibility. We find that η-mesic nuclei can be observed experimentally using the (d, 3 He) reaction. We also mention the possibility to study the formation of ω-mesic nuclei. Bound states of η mesons in nuclei (η-mesic nuclei) are interesting objects which have not been observed so far experimentally. The η-meson is a member of the SU(3) nonet of pseudoscalar mesons and believed to be one of the Nambu-Goldstone bosons of spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking. The origin of the mass of the Nambu-Goldstone bosons is studied theoretically in terms of a symmetry breaking pattern[1]. Since chiral symmetry is expected to be partially restored at finite density[2], it is very interesting to study the behavior of mesons, especially their masses, in the nucleus. Since the η-nucleon scattering length is dominated by the s-wave part due to the strong coupling to the N * (1535) resonance, the η-nucleus optical potential has a large s-wave part. Thus by spectroscopic studies of η-mesic nuclei, we can expect to obtain precise information on the s-wave potential, which is equivalent to the mass shift of the η-meson in the nucleus. We also expect to get new information on the properties of the N * (1535) resonance in nuclear matter by studying the η-nucleus optical potential. The in-medium behavior of π and K mesons, which are also Nambu-Goldstone bosons, has been reasonably well understood from scattering as well as mesic atom data. In contrast, there is little experimental information on the in-medium properties of the η meson. Existence of η-mesic nuclei was suggested theoretically by Haider and Liu[3]. They systematically investigated η-mesic nuclear states and proposed to use the (π + , p) reaction for their formation. Experimental attempts to find a bound state in this reaction led to negative results[4]. On the other hand, the cross section for η meson production in d(p, 3 He)η reactions at threshold was found to be large[5] and was analyzed in terms of a quasi-bound η− 3 He system[6]. For the η− 4 He system also the existence of a quasi-bound state …
