Description

In frame of the JINR scientific program on study dense baryonic matter a new accelerator complex the Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility (NICA) is under realization at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (Dubna, Russia) [1]. Two interaction points are foreseen at NICA for two detectors. One of these detectors, the Multi-Purpose Detector (MPD), is optimized for investigations of heavy-ion collisions [2].
The MPD - 4π detector is a spectrometer capable of detecting charged hadrons, electrons, and photons produced by heavy ion collisions at high luminosity in the energy range of the NICA collider.
The Time-Projection Chamber (TPC) is the main tracking device in the MPD central barrel for 3-dimensional tracking charge particles and particle identification [3-5].
In the poster report presents current status of the basic design parameters of the TPC and the basic TPC configuration, and also status of something its systems.
