| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Neutron star is believed to be created as a remnant of super nova explosion. In order to determine a thermodynamical character of outer core of neutron star through terrestrial experiments we have performed a series of measurements using RIKEN Radio Isotope Beam Factory (RIBF). Various central collisions between neutron-rich tin nucleus and normal tin nucleus were measured. The density achieved by the collisions nearly corresponds to the one for the outer core of neutron star. Both positive and negative pions emitted from the high density nuclear matter were detected by a newly developed large time projection chamber which can provide 3-dimensional image of their tracks. We have successfully accumulated data with higher statistics than planned. Data analysis to extract precise yield ratios between charged pions is in progress. We expect to constrain the EOS for neutron star soon.
