Priority:1
Status: Approved for completion
in 2009

Development of the JINR Basic Facility for Generation of Intense Heavy Ion and Polarized Nuclear Beams Aimed at Searching for the Mixed Phase of Nuclear Matter and Investigation of Polarization Phenomena at the Collision Energies up to sqrt = 9 GeV


Leaders:   A.N. Sissakian
A.S. Sorin
A.D. Kovalenko

Scientific Programme:
Investigation of the mixed phase formation problem in strongly interacting nuclear matter at extremely high nuclear densities and polarization phenomena in few-body nucleon systems. Development of theoretical models of the processes and theoretical support of the experiments. Development of the Nuclotron as the basis for study of relativistic nuclear collisions over atomic mass range A = 1 - 238. Preparation of the project of the nuclear collider and multipurpose particle detector at heavy ion colliding beams (NICA/MPD) and staged realization. Experiments at the Nuclotron nuclear and polarized deuteron beams.

Expected main results in 2009:
