Abstract
The nuclear Equation of State (EoS) is a fundamental property of nuclear
matter that describes the relationships between the parameters for a
nuclear system, such as energy, density and temperature.
An international collaboration, named S$\pi$RIT, to study the density
dependence of symmetry energy term in nuclear EoS has been formed since
2009. One of the main devices of experimental setup is a Time Projection
Chamber (TPC) which will be installed into the SAMURAI dipole magnet at
RIKEN-RIBF. The TPC can measure charged pions, protons and light ions
simultaneously in heavy RI collisions. In addition, simultaneous
measurement of neutron is possible with SAMURA-NEBULA and NeuLAND. Those measurements will be used as probes to study the asymmetric dense
nuclear matter.
In this talk, the conceptual design and the status of the SPiRIT project
will be given in addition to physics observables which are expected to
be measured at Dayone experiment with Z$ \sim$ 50 nucleus.
