Abstract content
Since many years the strong final state interaction between eta mesons and light nuclei and the discussed possibility for the formation of $\eta$-mesic nuclei has attracted broad experimental and theoretical investigations. Prominent examples are production experiments on the $^3{He$-\eta$ final state which present an unexpected strong total cross section enhancement at threshold, indicating the presence of a pole very close to threshold. Stimulated by these results new proton-deuteron collision experiments on the eta meson production have been performed in the near-threshold region and at higher excess energies using both polarized and unpolarized beams. Recent results will be presented and discussed in this talk.
