Brief annotation and scientific rationale:
The MPD experiment at the NICA collider is designed to study collisions of relativistic heavy nuclei in the energy range = 4-11 GeV. The physical program of the experiment is aimed at studying the structure of the phase diagram of the state of strongly interacting matter in the region of moderate temperatures and large baryon densities exceeding the density in ordinary nuclear matter by 5-8 times. At the same time, much attention is also paid to the issue of searching for parton degrees of freedom and critical signatures in the resulting system using various physical observables. In order to carry out these studies, the detectors of the experimental setup must ensure effective registration and identification of various particles born in collisions of nuclei and measurement of their parameters at high loads in a wide range of phase space.

 Expected results upon completion of the project:
1. Creating and launching the first stage of the MPD experimental setup.

The configuration of the first stage includes: a magnet that creates a uniform field up to 0.57T, a track system based on the time projection chamber TPC, a time-of-flight detector FFD-TOF, an electromagnetic calorimeter ECal and a forward hadron calorimeter FHCal. Holding a technical run on the beams of the NICA collider to configure all subsystems of the MPD experimental setup, holding a physical run on the beam for a set of events corresponding to collisions of heavy ions in the required beam configuration in order to study the properties of baryonic matter.

2. Creation and commissioning of a centralized data processing system running in the MpdRoot software environment and providing: 1) calibration of data received from the MPD experimental setup, 2) primary processing of data received from the experimental setup to switch from the raw data format to tables of recovered tracks and hits in detector subsystems, 3) processing of the tables of tracks and hits obtained at the previous stage in order to obtain the first high-quality physical results.

 Expected results of the project in the current year:
1. Cooling of the Solenoid to the temperature of liquid nitrogen, completion of the creation of TOF, FHCal, FFD subsystems, assembly of the TPC housing, manufacture and testing of 80% of all ECal modules.

2. Creation and commissioning of a centralized data processing system, known as “Analysis Train”, for processing simulated data in order to study the possibilities of the MPD experimental setup for studying various physical signals.

3. Simulation of the operation of the MPD experimental setup in A+A collisions using various event generators in order to study the possibilities of its use for studying collisions of an ion beam with a fixed target. Such a configuration makes it possible to expand the area of the studied interaction energies of nuclei to an energy of ~ 2 GeV and provide the necessary frequency of nuclear collisions at almost any achieved beam luminosity.

Brief annotation and scientific rationale:
The Spin Physics Detector is a planned experimental setup at the NICA collider is intended to study the spin structure of the proton and deuteron and the other spin-related phenomena with polarized proton and deuteron beams at a collision energy up to 27 GeV and a luminosity up to 1032 cm-2 s-1. In the polarized proton-proton collisions, the SPD experiment will cover the kinematic gap between the low-energy measurements at ANKE-COSY and SATURNE and the high-energy measurements at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, as well as the planned fixed-target experiments at the LHC. As for the possibility for NICA to operate with polarized deuteron beams at such energies, it is unique. SPD is planned to operate as a universal facility for comprehensive study of the unpolarized and polarized gluon content of the nucleon at large and moderate x, using different complementary probes such as: charmonia, open charm, and prompt photon production processes. A priority of the experiment is the measurement of parton distributions depending on the transverse momentum of partons in the nucleon (TMD PDFs). The study of spin effects in the elastic scattering of protons and deuterons, and in the production of lambda-hyperons, search for dibaryon resonances, study of the charmed particles production near threshold, study of multiquark correlations, and other polarized and unpolarized physics will be available at the first stage of the collider operation with reduced luminosity and collision energy of proton and ion beams.

Expected results upon completion of the project:
The main result of the experiment should be new information on the gluon helicity, gluon Sivers, Boer-Mulders and other Transverse Momentum Dependent PDFs in the nucleon, as well as the gluon transversity distribution and tensor PDFs in the deuteron, via the measurement of specific single and double spin asymmetries. The results expected to be obtained by SPD will play an important role in the general understanding of the properties of strong interaction, specifically, of the nucleon gluon content and will serve as a complementary input to the ongoing and planned studies at RHIC, and future measurements at the EIC (BNL) and fixed-target facilities at the LHC (CERN). Simultaneous measurement of the same quantities using different processes at the same experimental setup is of key importance for minimization of possible systematic effects.

Expected results of the project in the current year:
1. Design, development, testing and optimization of prototypes of the detectors and other subsystems of the SPD setup.

2. Creation and development of infrastructure for testing prototypes of the SPD subsystems at the Nuclotron beams.

3. Finalization of the SPD technical design report. Approval of the technical design by the SPD International Advisory Committee.
