Description
The NICA (Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility) project is under preparation at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR, Dubna). The main goal of the project is a study of hot and dense strongly interacting matter in heavy ion collisions (up to gold) in the energy range up to √s_NN = 11 GeV. Two modes of operation are foreseen, collider and extracted beams, with two detectors: MPD and BM@N. In the collider mode the designed average luminosity is 10E27 cm-2 s-1 for Au(79+). The proposed experimental program allows one to search for manifestations of the phase transitions and critical phenomena.
