Comment on "Search for $\eta'$ Bound Nuclei in the $^{12}\mathrm{C}(\gamma,p)$ Reaction with Simultaneous Detection of Decay Products"

TL;DR

This paper provides a critical commentary on a recent experimental study searching for eta-prime bound nuclei via photon-induced reactions on carbon, highlighting methodological considerations and implications of the findings.

Contribution

It offers an analysis and critique of the experimental approach and conclusions of the LEPS2/BGOegg Collaboration's search for eta-prime bound states.

Findings

Highlights potential limitations of the experimental method

Discusses implications for eta-prime nuclear bound state searches

Provides insights into the interpretation of the experimental results

Abstract

We comment on a recent paper by the LEPS2/BGOegg Collaboration [Phys. Rev. Lett. 124, 202501 (2020), arXiv:2005.03449].
