Abstract content
We will report on the status of the search for $\eta$-mesic nuclei and the studies of the interaction of the $\eta$ meson with nucleons. Recently we have completed the analysis of the new WASA-at-COSY data on the production of the $\eta$ meson with polarized proton beam. New results on the analyzing power for the $pp \to pp\eta$ reaction with more than an order of magnitude improved precision shed a new light on the $p-\eta$ interaction as well as on the production mechanism of the $\eta$ meson in nucleon-nucleon collisions. Also, the latest results of the search for $\eta$-mesic nuclei will be discussed.
