sPHENIX experiment is proposed to succeed the current PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). sPHENIX experiment is capable of measuring jets, jet correlations and upsilons to determine the temperature dependence of transport coefficients and the color screening length in the quark-gluon plasma. From January to February 2017, sPHENIX Collaboration conducted test beam...

13. MExNICA: theory and experiment collaborative efforts to study nuclear matter under extreme conditions at NICA-JINR

In this talk I will present some of the challenges and opportunities to study nuclear matter under extreme conditions using the Multi-Purpose Detector (MPD) at the Nuclotron-­‐based Ion Collider fAcility (NICA) which is located at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR), in Dubna, Rusia. I will summarize the advances made by the collaboration MExNICA within the planned program for...
