Abstract
The role of the multi-purpose detector at the JINR NICA collider in the landscape of heavy-ion projects is briefly discussed.
Highlights
The multi-purpose detector (MPD) at the JINR NICA collider [1] is the third-generation experiment planned to study nucleus-nucleus collisions at energies of the CERN SPS
There are three generations of experiments studying nucleus-nucleus collisions in the transition energy range: i) NA49 [7] at the CERN SPS
The first phase of measurements is completed at RHIC [11] and it will be completed at SPS
Summary
The multi-purpose detector (MPD) at the JINR NICA collider [1] is the third-generation experiment planned to study nucleus-nucleus collisions at energies of the CERN SPS. I) First, the NA49 experiment [2,3] at the CERN SPS Discovered a rapid change of the energy dependence of hadron production properties in central Pb+Pb (c√ollsiNsiNons≈w8hGicehVs)t.aTrthsisatresaublotu, tprpeldabict=ed 30A GeV/c as the signal of the onset of deconfinement (the phase transition to a quark-gluon plasma) at the low CERN SPS
