Studies of hadronic and heavy ion polarisation at NICA

Abstract

The perspectives of the investigations of polarisation and spin asymmetries at the constructed Nuclotron-based heavy-Ion Collider fAcility (NICA) complex at Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) in Dubna are outlined. They include the studies of both hadronic spin structure at Spin Physics Detector (SPD)[1] and heavy ion spin physics at Multi-Purpose Detector (MPD)[2] and Baryonic Matter at Nuclotron (BM@N) detector. The specifics and similarities of relevant physics are discussed. The special role of Spin-1 tensor polarisation is stressed.
