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, 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 signatures 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 proton beams at RHIC.

Expected results in the current year:
  1. Beam Energy Scan-II data analysis for collider mode and fixed target measurements.

  2. Study of spin effects in collisions of transversely polarized protons at 510 GeV and forward rapidities.

  3. Study of event structure, collective variables, correlation characteristics, femtosopic correlation functions and high-pT processes.

  4. Study of future possibility of investigation of the nuclear structure and the proton spin in e-p and e-A collisions at colliders.

  5. Participation in joint educational programs in relativistic nuclear physics with BNL and universities of the JINR Member States. Development of JINR educational portal.
