We discuss the possibility of producing the bound states of the {eta}'(958) meson in nuclei theoretically using the the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model. We calculate the formation cross section of the {eta}' bound states with the Green function method for the ({gamma},p) reaction and discuss the experimental feasibility at photon facilities such as SPring-8. We conclude that we can expect to observe resonance peaks in ({gamma},p) spectra for the formation of {eta}' bound states and we can deduce new information on {eta}' properties at finite density. These observations are believed to be essential to know the possible mass shift of {eta}' and deduce new information on the effective restoration of the chiral UA(1) anomaly at finite density.
