NICA and NA61/SHINE joint session

The research programme of the NA61 collaboration covers a wide range of hadronic physics in the CERN SPS energy range. It encompasses measurements of hadron-hadron, hadron-nucleus as well as nucleus-nucleus collisions. The latter are analyzed to better understand the properties of hot and dense nuclear matter. In this contribution recent results on particle production in proton-proton, Be+Be,...

87. Fluctuations and correlations study at NA61/SHINE

NICA and NA61/SHINE joint session

The strong interactions program of NA61/SHINE, a fixed-target experiment at the CERN SPS, focuses on the search for the critical point of strongly interacting matter. The strategy of the Collaboration is to perform a comprehensive two dimensional scan of the phase diagram $\mu_{B} – T$ by changing the collision energy and the system size. If in this scenario, the system freeze-out occurs in...

NICA and NA61/SHINE joint session

The NA61/SHINE detector, at the CERN SPS, is undergoing a major upgrade during the LHC Long Shutdown 2 period (2019-2021). The upgrade is essential to fulfil the requirements of new open charm measurement program. It is necessary to stress that this new physics goal can be achieve only when the readout rate will be increase by a factor 10 and the resolution of the secondary vertex in the high...

114. ALICE technologies proposed for the VD of NA61/SHINE in connection to the future MPD Si tracker

Grigori Feofilov (St Petersburg State University (RU))

22/10/2019, 15:35

NICA and NA61/SHINE joint session

In this report I would like to show, first of all, briefly, the main challenges of the Inner Tracking System (ITS) design for ALICE that were successfully met, which is proved by 10 years of operation at the LHC. Secondly, the conceptual current design of the Vertex Detector for open charm at the NA61/SHINE will be discussed for two options of Small and Large Area Detector systems (SAVD...

63. Upgrade of the NA61/SHINE ToF system based on a MRPCs for the NICA experiments

Mr Aleksandr Dmitriev (Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (RU))

22/10/2019, 16:20

NICA and NA61/SHINE joint session

The obsolete left-right time-of-flight system (TOF-LR) of the hadron spectrometer NA61/SHINE require upgrades due to significant ageing of scintillators, photo-multipliers, power supplies as well as the outdated readout electronics and cables. New TOF detectors based on multi-gap resistive plate chambers (MRPC) for the NICA experiments are proposed as a replacement.
The progress on design and...

31. Synergy in the development of forward hadron calorimeters for NA61, BM@N, MPD and CBM experiments

Fedor Guber (Russian Academy of Sciences (RU))

22/10/2019, 16:45

NICA and NA61/SHINE joint session

The lead/scintillator transverse and longitudinal segmented forward hadron calorimeters will be used in the upgraded NA61 and BM@N experiments and future CBM, MPD experiments to measure centrality and reaction plane orientation in heavy ion collisions. Similar calorimeter has been already used at the NA61 experiments on the search for the critical point and the onset of deconfiment in...

112. Non-standard GEM foils for gaseous detectors

Magdalena Kuich (University of Warsaw (PL))

22/10/2019, 17:05

NICA and NA61/SHINE joint session

Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) technology is widely used in many application in nuclear and particle physics. It offers the potential to develop new gaseous detectors with unprecedented spatial resolution, high rate capability, sizeable sensitive area, operational stability and radiation hardness. In this contribution, a brief overview of gaseous detector development at the University of Warsaw...

81. Convolutional neural network for centrality determination in fixed target experiments

Denis Uzhva (St Petersburg State University (RU))

22/10/2019, 17:25

NICA and NA61/SHINE joint session

Fixed target experiments have an unique possibility to measure centrality of colliding systems by hadronic calorimeters on the beam line. This is usually achieved by the detection of all forward nucleon spectators and accomplishes fluctuation and correlation measures with lower biases than in collider experiments. However, hadronic calorimeters have much lower resolution than multiplicity...
