Description
The Spin Physics Detector project at the future NICA complex at JINR
(Dubna, Russia) aims to investigate the nucleon spin structure and
polarization phenomena in collisions of longitudinally and
transversely polarized protons and deuterons at $\sqrt{s}$ up to 27
GeV and luminosity up to 10$^{32}$ cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$.In particular
such probes as charmonia, prompt photons, and open charm provide access
to polarized gluon content of proton and deuteron at moderate and high-x region.
Tensor structure of deuteron could also be investigated. The experimental
setup is planned as a universal 4$\pi$ detector for a wide range of physics
tasks. Physics program and overview of the detector will be presented.
