Description

The short-lived resonances have always played an important role in the physical programs of heavy-ion experiments. The resonances measured in the hadronic decay channels probe the strangeness production, the hadronization mechanisms at intermediate and high transverse momenta, rescattering and regeneration effects in the hadronic phase of nucleus-nucleus collisions at various energies. Properties of resonances have never been studied in detail in heavy-ion collisions at NICA energies. In this presentation, we review the expected properties of the resonances and their sensitivity to different stages of Au+Au collisions at NICA energies. Results of feasibility studies for reconstruction of resonances in the MPD experimental setup will also be presented and discussed.
