Abstract content

We measured excitation spectra in the $^{12}$C$(p,d)$ reaction around the $\eta'$ emission threshold to search for $eta'$ meson bound states in carbon nuclei ($\eta'$ mesic nuclei). A 2.5 GeV proton beam from the SIS synchrotron impinged on a carbon target to potentially produce eta' mesic nuclei via the $^{12}$C$(p,d)$ reaction. The ejected deuterons were momentum-analyzed by FRS used as a high-resolution spectrometer. An extremely good statistical sensitivity was achieved in the measured excitation spectra as well as a sufficiently good energy resolution. In this contribution, the analysis on the excitation spectra and the preliminary results are presented.
