TL;DR: The Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility (NICA) project is under development at JINR (Dubna), and the general goals of the project are to provide colliding beams for experimental studies of both hot and dense strongly interacting baryonic matter and spin physics in collisions of polarized protons and deuterons.
Abstract: The Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility (NICA) project is under development at JINR (Dubna). The general goals of the project are to provide colliding beams for experimental studies of both hot and dense strongly interacting baryonic matter and spin physics (in collisions of polarized protons and deuterons). The first program will require the running of heavy-ion mode in the energy range of \(\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 4-11\) GeV at luminosities up to \( L = 1\cdot 10^{27}\) cm-2 s-1 for 197Au79 nuclei (see details in sect. 4). This stage of the project will be preceded by fixed target experiments with the heavy-ion beam to be extracted from the Nuclotron at kinetic energies up to 4.5 GeV/u. The polarized beam mode is proposed to be used in the energy range of \( \sqrt{s_{NN}} = 12-27\) GeV (protons) at luminosities up to \( 1\cdot 10^{32}\) cm-2 s-1. This report contains a brief description of the facility scheme and characteristics in the heavy-ion operation mode, the description of the MultiPurpose Detector (MPD), and characteristics of the reactions of the colliding ions, which will allow us to detect the mixed phase formation. The plans and status of the project development are presented.

TL;DR: The Nuclotron as discussed by the authors is a superconducting heavy ion synchrotron-Nuclotron that was put into operation at the Laboratory of High Energies (LHE).
Abstract: The new superconducting heavy ion synchrotron-Nuclotron was put into operation at the Laboratory of High Energies. The maximum design energy is 6 GeV/u. There are 160 pulsed SC magnets with a "cold" iron yoke and a hollow superconductor winding in the ring. A magnetic field of 2 T is provided under a supply current of 6 kA. The magnets were tested under a cycle dB/dt=4 T/s, B=2 T, and a ramp rate f=1.0 Hz. A two-phase helium flow was chosen as a coolant. The Nuclotron "cold" mass is about 80 tons. The cryogenic supply system capacity is 4.8 kW at 4.5 K. The total running time of the Nuclotron reached 1100 hours after the last run in March 1994. >

TL;DR: In this article, the potentialities of the internal target station used in physics experiments at the Nuclotron, as well as its construction, hardware and software con"gurations are described.
Abstract: The potentialities of the internal target station used in physics experiments at the Nuclotron, as well as its construction, hardware and software con"gurations are described. The remote control of the station is performed by means of a PC and is based on operative presentation of the magnetic"eld cycle, the beam parameters and the target position on screen. Consequently, the space}time trajectory of motion of a chosen target can be determined in an interactive way by an operator. During the accelerator operation the motion is carried out by means of a stepper motor. ( 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

TL;DR: In this paper, an event generator based on the three-fluid hydrodynamics approach for the early stage of the collision is presented, followed by a particlization at the hydrodynamic decoupling surface to join to a microscopic transport model, ultrarelativistic quantum molecular dynamics, to account for hadronic final state interactions.
Abstract: We present an event generator based on the three-fluid hydrodynamics approach for the early stage of the collision, followed by a particlization at the hydrodynamic decoupling surface to join to a microscopic transport model, ultrarelativistic quantum molecular dynamics, to account for hadronic final-state interactions. We present first results for nuclear collisions of the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research--Nuclotron-based Ion Collider Facility energy scan program (Au+Au collisions, $\sqrt{{s}_{NN}}=4\ensuremath{-}11\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}\mathrm{GeV}$). We address the directed flow of protons and pions as well as the proton rapidity distribution for two model equations of state, one with a first-order phase transition and the other with a crossover-type softening at high densities. The new simulation program has the unique feature that it can describe a hadron-to-quark matter transition which proceeds in the baryon stopping regime that is not accessible to previous simulation programs designed for higher energies.
