Description

Nuclear collisions using radioactive isotope beams provide a great opportunity to investigate the isospin-dependent propoerties of nuclear matter in sub- and supra-saturation densities. In the future Rare Isotope Science Project (RISP), formally known as Korea Rare Isotope Accelerator, the Large-Acceptance Multipurpose Spectrometer (LAMPS) was conceived primarily to explore the isospin-dependent nuclear equation-of-state (EoS), or the nuclear symmetry energy, with large neutron-proton asymmetry. In order to explore the observables that are sensitive to the isospin degrees of freedom, the reaction products need to be measured as precise as possible in large acceptance. In order to comply with this requirement, LAMPS consists of the upstream solenoid spectrometer, the downstream dipole spectrometer, and the high-precision neutron-detector array. The solenoid spectrometer consists of the solenoidal magnet, the cylindrical time-projection chamber (TPC), the silicon-CsI system, and the neutron detector. The dipole spectrometer consists of the dipole magnet and two arms with each being equipped by the tracking chambers and the time-of-flight wall. With this configuration we expect LAMPS effectively and precisely identify the reaction products and measure the momentum of the charged particles, neutrons, and various nuclear fragments in a wide momentum range. In this talk, I'll present the simulation results of each detector element.
