How can we prove it to be true ?Phase transition broken conserved
• High temperature (T>200MeV)• High baryon density (>100)• Transient phenomena, dynamical effects
Partial restoration of symmetry• Precursor of phase transition• Nuclei as static environment with finite
baryon density (0<<0)

Meson productions in nuclei meson (two pions)
• CHAOS : +A ++X• Crystal Ball: +A ++X• TAPS : +A ++X
// mesons• KEK-E325 : p+A e++e+X
Still not clear• Drastic effect, elementary proc., absorption

Spike in M<300 MeV/c2
Elementary process seems to be not simple

Preliminary spectrumSearch for like pairs
• Byproduct of R&D for pnp experiment• TBeam=392MeV• 8 hours run with Cu target (2.7 h live time)• One and another h+
Sensitivity down to 0.1nb/nucleon
5 August, 2004 RCNP B-PAC 11
New Experiment Proposal About 100 times larger yield
Establish measurement• Present yield is too few
Discuss production more clearly• M, p and distributions
First step to measure A-dependence• At least 2 more targets
5 August, 2004 RCNP B-PAC 12
System Update DAQ
Decrease dead time• Optimize DAQ sequence
• VME+FASTBUS • Double memory buffer in VME
