Description
The equation of state (EoS) of nuclear matter, particularly its symmetry energy component, remains a central question in nuclear physics and astrophysics. While recent astrophysical observations have provided valuable constraints, experimental input from terrestrial laboratories is essential to disentangle model dependencies and explore the high-density regime. The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) offers a unique opportunity to address this challenge by enabling experiments with neutron-rich radioactive beams that were previously inaccessible. This talk will provide an overview of the current status and future outlook for EoS-related research at FRIB. Emphasis will be placed on the upcoming experiment designed to probe the density dependence of the symmetry energy using heavy-ion collisions. It will also highlight long-term plans for the EOS research at FRIB and efforts to upgrade and integrate key detector systems. These developments position FRIB to play a key role in constraining the nuclear EOS over the next decade.
