Description
Primary focus of the Spin Physics Detector (SPD) at the Nu-
clotron based Ion Collider fAcility (NICA) is to study nucleon spin
structure in the three dimensions. At the SPD, measurements of
cross-sections and spin asymmetries sensitive to the unpolarized and
various polarized (helicity, Sivers, Boer-Mulders) gluon distributions
will be performed. Measurements from collisions of polarized pro-
tons (deuterons) of energies up to 27 (13.5) GeV with luminosity up
to 10^32 cm^{−2} s^{−1} (10^31 cm^{−2} s^{−1}) will provide data in the moderate
and large Bjorken-x, making them complementary to the present (i.e.
STAR, PHENIX) and future (i.e. EIC, AFTER) high energy spin ex-
periments. This will allow for a much improved global analyses and
understanding of spin structures of a basic building block of Nature.
With polarized deuteron collisions, SPD will be a unique laboratory
for probing tensor polarized gluon distr
