Heavy ion acceleration at J-PARC

Sato, Susumu  ; J-PARC Heavy Ion Collaboration*

J-PARC is an accelerator, which provides a high-intensity proton beam. Recently as a very attractive project, the acceleration of heavy ions produced by supplementary ion sources, called J-PARC-HI, is seriously contemplated by domestic as well as international communities. This particle describes the physics of J-PARC-HI project as well as the current status.
