Session D7 - Hadron Physics.
ORAL session, Saturday afternoon, May 01

The binding energy \epsilon_\eta of eta-mesic nucleus has been studied for a wide range of nuclei with mass number A ranging from 12 to 208. In particular, the empirical dependence of \epsilon_\eta on A has been determined. It is found that \epsilon_\eta depends logarithmically on A, irrespective of the formalism (microscopic, factorization approximation, or on-shell potential) used in the calculations. The dependence of \epsilon_\eta on nuclear form factors has also been examined in this study.
