Issues
addressed and main goals of research:
Search and investigation of phase transitions in strongly interacting nuclear matter at extremely high baryon densities, study of the nucleon spin structure, of light nuclei and polarization phenomena in few nucleon systems. Development of theoretical models of the studied processes and theoretical support of the experiments. Development of the Nuclotron accelerator complex as a basic facility for studying relativistic nuclear collisions in the range of atomic masses A = 1÷197. Investigation of reaction dynamics and studing modifications of hadron properties in nuclear matter, near-threshold strange hyperons production and search for hyper nuclei in interactions of the Nuclotron extracted ion beams with fixed targets at the BM@N detector. Investigation of the nuclear structure at short internucleon distances at the BM@N detector. Development and stage-by-stage creation of the NICA heavy ion collider accelerator complex, the multi-purpose detector (MPD/NICA) and spin physics detector (SPD/NICA) for experiments with colliding heavy ions beams. Modernization of extraction beam lines. Carrying out of experiments with ion beams and polarized proton and deuteron beams at the Nuclotron. Development of the infrastructure for applied research at NICA heavy ion beams.
Expected
results in the current year:
Development and expansion of the physical programme of the project - "White Paper" of the NICA project. Obtaining new theoretical results for processes of strong interactions in the non-perturbative QCD region, development and tests of models for nuclear matter properties descriptions at extremely high temperatures and densities, investigation of possible nuclear matter states and nuclear collision dynamics at extreme baryonic densities as well as observation of these phenomena in P-odd effects and spin asymmetries.
