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.</p>","PeriodicalId":729,"journal":{"name":"Physics of Particles and Nuclei","volume":"56 2","pages":"177 - 185"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144100356","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For identification of such events it is necessary to determine the arrival time of the calorimeter signals with accuracy of several nanoseconds. Preliminary estimations have shown that the required time resolution can be obtained only basing on signals of the liquid‑xenon calorimeter. The shapes of the liquid‑xenon calorimeter’s output electric signals differ substantially from event to event, thus an additional error is added to the measured signal arrival time even when a constant‑fraction discriminator is used. For measuring the arrival time of the liquid‑xenon calorimeter’s signals a special digital signal processing algorithm has been developed which allows one to reduce the error of signal arrival time determination added by the difference of signals' shapes. In this paper the developed algorithm is described and the results obtained after optimization of this algorithm on the real events data are presented.</p>","PeriodicalId":729,"journal":{"name":"Physics of Particles and Nuclei","volume":"56 2","pages":"186 - 190"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144100357","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
