This report discusses an experimental program to study production of the eta-meson and subsequent interaction of the eta with the nucleus. In experiments at LAMPF we produced eta through the ..pi../sup -/p ..-->.. eta n reaction and detected eta production by measuring the two gamma rays in the eta ..-->.. 2..gamma.. decay or by measuring only the forward-going neutrons or charged particles. We propose additional experiments that could be performed with existing apparatus; in addition, we suggest further pertinent investigations that will be possible with the more energetic pion beams from LAMPF II. 14 refs., 6 figs., 2 tabs.
