Scientific Programme:
Investigation of the mixed phase transition phenomena in strongly interacting nuclear matter at extremely high nuclear densities, study of polarization phenomena in few-body nucleon systems and spin structure of quark matter, nucleon and light nuclei. Development of theoretical models of these processes and theoretical support of the experiments. Development of the Nuclotron accelerator complex, as a base facility for studying of relativistic nuclear collisions in the range of atomic masses A = 1-197. Development and construction of the heavy ion collider NICA, multipurpose (NICA/MPD) and spin (NICA/SPD) detectors for the collider experiments with heavy ions. Modernization of the extraction beam lines. Carrying out of experiments with nuclear beams and polarized deuteron beams at the Nuclotron.
