| Status of the NICA Project at JINR |
| Speaker: | Prof. Alexander Sorin (Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (Dubna)) |
| Abstract: | The NICA (Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility) project
is now under realization phase at JINR (Dubna). The main goal
of the project is an experimental study of hot and dense
strongly interacting matter in heavy ion collisions at
centre-of-mass energies √s_NN = 4 - 11 GeV (NN-equivalent)
and average luminosity of 10E27 cm-2 s-1 for Au(79+) in
the collider mode (NICA collider). In parallel, fixed target
experiments at the upgraded JINR superconducting synchrotron
Nuclotron are carried out with extracted beams of various
nuclei species up to Au(79+) with maximum momenta 13 GeV/c
(for protons). The project also foresees a study of spin
physics with extracted and colliding beams of polarized
deuterons and protons at the energies up to √s = 26 GeV
(for protons). The proposed program allows to search for
possible signs of the mixed phase and critical endpoint
as well as to shed light on the problem of nucleon spin
structure. General design and construction status, physical
program of the NICA complex will be presented. |

| Event-by-event analyzis of the properties of the initial conditions in heavy ion collisions |
| Speaker: | Philipe Mota (Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) |
| Abstract: | The qualitative success of the hydrodynamic approach in describing the collective observables in heavy ion collisions -- such as elliptic flow -- has placed it as an important phenomenological tool to connect the experimental results with theoretical models based on QCD. However the presently available observables are not sensible enough to the space-time evolution of the fluid in order to falsify these models.
In this talk I will discuss how one can search for new observables by systematically analyzing the event-by-event hydrodynamic response to the granularity of the initial condition. For this purpose we propose a parametrization of the initial condition based on the Glasma picture. Each collision event is described as a set of overlapping longitudinal tubes where the total energy content and the width of each tube are taken as the parameters. We expect that the comparison of our results with experimental data will provide a better understanding of the space-time evolution of the strongly interacting matter created in heavy ion collisions. |
