Abstract
The multi-purpose detector (MPD) is designed to study physical processes occurring in collisions of heavy relativistic nuclei in the energy range of the NICA (Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility) collider \(\sqrt {{{S}_{{NN}}}} \) = 4–11 GeV. MPD is the first physical installation that will work at the NICA collider. The project is currently in the final stages of construction. Particle detectors will be located inside a superconducting magnet creating a magnetic field of 0.5 T. They include three-dimensional particle registration systems based on a large cylindrical time-projection chamber (TPC) and identification systems consisting of a time-off-flight (TOF) detector and an electromagnetic calorimeter (ECal). To ensure a uniform magnetic field, a sophisticated cryogenic system is used that cools a superconducting solenoid to liquid helium temperatures. Once operational, MPD will become a powerful tool for studying the physics of heavy-ion collisions and improving our understanding of the fundamental properties of matter.
期刊介绍:
The journal Fizika Elementarnykh Chastits i Atomnogo Yadr of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR, Dubna) was founded by Academician N.N. Bogolyubov in August 1969. The Editors-in-chief of the journal were Academician N.N. Bogolyubov (1970–1992) and Academician A.M. Baldin (1992–2001). Its English translation, Physics of Particles and Nuclei, appears simultaneously with the original Russian-language edition. Published by leading physicists from the JINR member states, as well as by scientists from other countries, review articles in this journal examine problems of elementary particle physics, nuclear physics, condensed matter physics, experimental data processing, accelerators and related instrumentation ecology and radiology.
