A Future project of a heavy-ion experiment at J-PARC

Sako, Hiroyuki   

The main goals of the J-PARC heavy-ion project are to explore the QCD phase diagram at high baryon density with heavy ions such as uranium at the beam energies of 1-10 AGeV. We are planning to focus on the electron and muon measurements and rare probe search such as multi-strangeness and charmed hadrons by taking advantage of extremely high beam power at J-PARC. A heavy-ion acceleration scheme has been considered with a new heavy-ion linac and a new booster ring, utilizing the existing 3-GeV Rapid-Cycling Synchrotron, and the 50-GeV Main Ring synchrotron.
