Description
A new radioactive ion beam accelerator RAON is being constructed at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) in Korea. Among various experimental devices, the large-acceptance multipurpose spectrometer (LAMPS) will be available in the high-energy experimental hall at RAON. The main goal of the LAMPS detector system is to investigate the nuclear equation of state and symmetry energy at supra-saturation densities, which are essential to understand the effective nuclear interactions and several astrophysical objects like neutron stars. In this presentation, various promising observables at RAON that are sensitive to the nuclear symmetry energy are going to be discussed. Then, the status of the development and construction of the detector elements, in particular the time-projection chamber (TPC) and the forward neutron detector array, for the LAMPS setup will be discussed.
