Search for η’-mesic nuclei using (p,d) reaction with FRS/Super-FRS at GSI/FAIR

We plan a semi-exclusive measurement of the 12C(p,dp) reaction to search for η'-mesic nuclei, aiming at investigating in-medium properties of the η′-meson. We employ a 2.5 GeV proton beam impinging on a carbon target to produce η′-mesic 11C nuclei via the 12C(p,d)η′⊗11C reaction. Using coincidence measurements of the forward going deuterons, important for missing-mass spectroscopy, and decay protons emitted from the η′-mesic nuclei. for event selection will provide a high experimental sensitivity to observe η'-mesic nuclei. We will perform the measurements by combining the WASA detector system with the fragment separator FRS at GSI and also with the Super-FRS at FAIR in the future. The plan of the experiments and the present status are reported.
