title = "Studies of high density baryon matter with high intensity heavy-ion beams at J-PARC",
abstract = "In J-PARC heavy-ion project, we aim at studies of QCD phase structures and hadron properties in high baryon density close to the neutron star core. We have developed a heavy-ion acceleration scheme with a new linac and a new booster with existing two synchrotrons with the goal beam rate of about 1011 Hz. We have also designed a large acceptance spectrometer based on a toroidal magnet. We have evaluated the spectrometer performance, and demonstrated reconstructing dielectron and dimuon spectra with full detector simulations. Finally, we designed a hypernuclear spectrometer which can utilize the full intensity ion beams.",

note = "Funding Information: We have designed the heavy-ion acceleration scheme, the large-acceptance toroidal spectrometer for lepton and hadron measurements, and the hypernuclear spectrometer. We reconstructed dielectron and dimuon spectra in the toroidal spectrometer through detailed reconstruction procedures using full detector simulation, and also showed feasibility of hypernuclear measurements in the hypernuclear spectrometer with the full intensity ion beams based on the full detector simulation. In a near future, we will complete the conceptual design of accelerators and spectrometers to proceed with the J-PARC heavy-ion project. This work was supported by JSPS KAKENHI Grant Number 15K13475.
