Description

The yields of charmed particles are the important observables sensitive to critical phenomena in QCD-matter at high baryon density. Highly efficient registration of such short-lived products of nuclear interactions using the Inner Tracking System (ITS) of Multi-Purpose Detector (MPD) based on Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors will play a key role in the charm production analysis.
The identification capability of the ITS has been studied during the Monte Carlo simulation, when reconstructing the decays of D$^{0}$, D$^{+}$ and D$^{+}_{s}$, produced in central Au+Au collisions at NICA energies. Results of D-meson reconstruction using Kalman Filter and Vector Finder tracking methods are compared.
The reported study was supported by RFBR research project No. 18-02-40119 and No. 18-02-40075
