“…The collected data were used to check efficiencies of sub-detectors and develop algorithms for the event reconstruction and analysis. In particular, experimental data of minimum bias interactions of the beam with different targets were analyzed with the aim to reconstruct tracks, primary and secondary vertices using the central tracking detectors [12,13,14]. The track reconstruction method was based on the so-called 'cellular automaton' approach [15].…”

The NICA (Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility) project is under realization at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR, Dubna). The main goal of the project is an experimental study of hot and dense strongly interacting matter in heavy ion (up to Au) collisions at center-of-mass energies up to 11 GeV per nucleon. The physics program will be performed at two experiments, BM@N (Baryonic Matter at Nuclotron) at beams extracted from the Nuclotron, and MPD (Multi-Purpose Detector) at the NICA collider. The aim of the BM@N experiment is to study interactions of relativistic heavy ion beams with fixed targets. The scientific program comprises studies of nuclear matter in the intermediate energy range between experiments at the SIS and NICA/FAIR facilities. The BM@N experiment has recorded first experimental data in the carbon, argon and krypton beams of kinetic energy per nucleon ranging from 2.3 to 4.5 GeV per nucleon. The first measurement of short range correlations of nucleons in carbon nucleus was performed in inverse kinematics with the carbon beam and liquid hydrogen target. The MPD detector is under construction to study hot and baryon rich QCD matter in heavy ion collisions at the NICA collider in the energy range √ s NN = 4 ÷ 11 GeV. Physics program includes the study of collective phenomena, Λ polarization, dilepton, hyperon and hypernuclei production under extreme conditions of highest baryonic density.

“…The results are presented for the magnetic field in the center of the magnet of 0.44 T. The simulation results indicate that the proposed set-up has a reasonable reconstruction capability for strange hyperons produced in high multiplicity central Au+Au collisions [23]. The expected statistics is sufficient to perform measurements of strange hyperon and hyper-nuclei production yields and ratios, transverse momentum spectra, rapidity and angular distributions [24,25]. Studies of fluctuations of event properties and correlations between products of nucleus-nucleus interactions are also feasible.…”
