We are developing a Hyperon Time Projection Chamber (HypTPC) as the main detector of two experiments at the J-PARC Hadron Facility.
The J-PARC E42 experiment proposes to search for the H-dibaryon resonance in $\Lambda\Lambda$ production from $(K^{-},K{+})$ reactions off nuclei and the bound H-dibayron by its weak decays in order to answer the long-standing question about the existence of the...

A Time Projection Chamber~(TPC) for the heavy ion collision experiments
has been produced as the main detector of SAMURAI-SPiRIT project for the
study of nuclear equation of state.
As the readout system for the SPiRIT-TPC, we are integrating the GET
system, which stands for the Genaral Electronics for Tpc and was
developed mainly by France and USA collaboration.
For the integration of...

The SAMURAI Pion-Reconstruction and Ion-Tracker (SπRIT) has recently been constructed at Michigan State University as part of an international effort to constrain the symmetry-energy term in the nuclear Equation of State (EoS). The SπRIT-TPC is designed for measurements of the density dependence of the symmetry-energy term at around twice the saturation density. This study will be performed in...

The SAMURAI-SπRIT project will aim to constrain the symmetry-energy term of the nuclear Equation of State (EoS) at supra-saturation densities [1]. For such purpose, a Time Projection Chamber (TPC) was recently constructed in order to measure π−/π+ and t/3He yield ratios in central collisions of neutron-rich heavy ions. The TPC will be installed inside the SAMURAI superconducting dipole magnet...

MicroMegas is a relatively new detector technology that operates as a two stage parallel plate avalanche chamber. It consists of a small amplification gap (50-300 um) and a much larger drift gap (on the order of cm) separated by a thin electroformed micromesh. It has been shown to provide gains of up to 10^5. [1]
We have previously used this technology at our Institute in the AstroBox [2], a...
