Description
BM@N Experiment is the first, which will be realize at the accelerator complex of
NICA-Nuclotron-M in Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna, Russia.
The aim of the BM@N experiment is to study interactions of relativistic heavy ion beam with fixed target. Particles identification is provided by combining the information from Central Tracking modules (inside of analyzing magnet), Outer Tracking modules (outside magnetic field) and Time of flight detectors.
The Inner tracking modules are based on Silicon micro-strip sensors and Gas Electron Multipliers (GEM) detectors. The outer tracking system is based on the drift chambers and straw tube detector. Choosing the best configuration layout for both GEM and Si stations is one of the crucial issue for the tracking resolution. Thanks to the Monte Carlo simulations in terms of the GEM acceptance it was able to find adequate detectors arrangement.
Additional aim in BM@N experiment is Short Range Correlation studies via hard scattering in inverse kinematics. SRC- pairs are pairs of nucleons tied together inside of nuclei. It is proposed to apply the heavy-ions beam and proton fix-target to break up the pairs and observe all components after collision. This type of experiment requires particular detector setup for the defined kinematics of interaction. In that case the high-effective trigger system is essential. For SRC at BM@N experiment trigger system is based on scintillation modules. Constructing and testing them was an important step to collect proper data.
