To properly simulate what happens after two particles collide in a detector one needs a properly modeled geometry of said machine. For later physical analysis it is important to know exactly what are its dimensions, where is it located in space, where are the particles located, what tracks did they leave. Also knowing how to add new detector or detector parts and where to put them in the code...
Monte Carlo simulation plays a significant role in particle physics. Therefore, it is important that the geometry of MPD components in software needs to be as close to real as possible. Visualising simulations helps to create actual projection of detector and generated particles. The Cosmic Ray Detector reduces the amount of muons counted for analysis by detecting cosmic radiation. With given...

To avoid getting dust inside RACKs it was decided to close them as hermetically as possible and provide the closed air loop venntilation. In each cabinet there are temperature and humidity transducers , fans modules and radiators. Using RS-485 standard based on the MODBUS protocol and modules of logic outputs, fans are being switched on and off depending on temperature inside each RACK and...
The main goal of this work was to perform Au+Au collisions generated within UrQMD model for different energies of NICA beam energy range. In order to obtain events generations, as well as physical analysis MPDroot environment was used. All the work was automatized via created macros and performed at NICA cluster. Simulations were held for intermediate energies of 4,7,9 and 11GeV.
