Investigation of the Properties of Nuclear Matter and Particle
Structure at the Collider of Relativistic Nuclei and Polarized Protons
  
    
Leaders:     R. Lednicky
Yu.A. Panebratsev

Participating countries and international organizations:
Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Kazakhstan, Poland, Russia, Slovakia, USA.

Issues addressed and main goals of research:
Investigation of the properties of nuclear matter with extremely high density and temperature, search for the signs of the quark deconfinement and possible phase transitions at the collisions of heavy nuclei at the energies of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). Measurement of spin dependent structure functions of nucleons and nuclei using polarized RHIC beams.

Expected results in the current year:
  • The data on beam energy scan at 19.6 GeV and 14.6 GeV.

  • Data analysis of the collisions of trunsversely polarized protons at 510 GeV.

  • Study of event structure, collective variables, correlation characteristics, femtosopic correlation functions and high PT processes.

  • Analysis of experimental data with isobaric nuclei  96Zr and 96Ru.

  • Participation in JINR-BNL and JINR-CERN joint educational programs. Development of JINR educational portal.
