Search for ω-mesic nuclei^⋆ — •Karoly Makonyi for the CBELSA/TAPS collaboration — II Physikalisches Institut, Heinrich-Buff-Ring 16, 35392 Giessen

The existence and properties of ω-mesic nuclei are being studied with the tagged photon beam of the ELSA accelerator in Bonn. The combined setup of the Crystal Barrel and MiniTAPS detector systems, which form a 4π electromagnetic calorimeter, was used for detecting the ω→π^∘+γ decay mode. The recoiling proton was identified with an aerogel Cherenkov detector. A first experiment on a carbon target has been performed. The status of the analysis will be presented.
