Description
The NICA Complex is under construction at the Joint Institute for Nuclear
Research in Dubna. The Complex comprises a chain of accelerators – the
Nuclotron, the Booster and the Collider, and three detectors, two of which,
the Baryonic Matter at Nuclotron (BM@N) and the Multi Purpose Detector (MPD),
are dedicated to study heavy ion collisions.
The Nuclotron provides variety of extracted ion beams up to kinetic energy
of 4.4 GeV per nucleon to the running experiment BM@N. The MPD detector is
under construction and will be located at the first interaction point of the Collider.
It is dedicated to study hot and baryon rich QCD matter in heavy-ion collisions in the energy
range (√sNN)=4−11GeV.
The status of NICA Complex construction and prospects for physics program
are presented.
