BM@N (Baryonic Matter at Nuclotron) is the first experiment to be realized at the accelerator complex of NICA-Nuclotron at JINR (Dubna). The aim of the experiment is to study interactions of relativistic heavy ion beams of kinetic energy per nucleon ranging from 1 to 4.5 GeV with fixed targets. First results of the analysis of minimum bias interactions of the deuteron and carbon beams of 4 AGeV kinetic energy with different targets are discussed. Preliminary results from the data collected in the recent experimental run with the argon beam are also presented.

BM@N (Baryonic Matter at the Nuclotron) is a fixed target experiment aimed to study nuclear matter in the relativistic heavy-ion collisions at the Nuclotron accelerator in JINR. The BM@N tracking system is based on Gas Electron Multipliers (GEM) detectors mounted inside the BM@N analyzing magnet. The Cathode Strip Chamber (CSC) is installed outside the magnet. The CSC is used for improvement of particles momentum identification. The structure of the GEM detectors and the CSC prototype and the results of study of their characteristics are presented. The GEM detectors and CSC are integrated into the BM@N experimental setup and data acquisition system. The results of first tests of the GEM tracking system and CSC in last runs are shortly reviewed.

Fixed Target Experiment

High luminosity data in a fixed-target experiment allow studying interactions of heavy quarks with nuclear matter in the intermediate energy range with extremely high precision. We present a feasibility study for open charm and bottom production measurements in the energy range of a fixed-target experiment at the LHC (AFTER@LHC). We demonstrate, that high-precision data from AFTER will allow answering two open questions: if there is a collective behavior of charm quarks inp+Acollisions at RHIC energy and if charm production is suppressed in the energy range ofsNN= 60–80 GeV. We argue that simultaneous measurement ofD0suppression as a function of traverse momentum at midrapidity and forward rapidity can help to pin down the mechanism of charm energy loss in the hot and dense nuclear medium.

Fixed Target Experiment

J-PARC Heavy Ion project (J-PARC-HI) is a future fixed target experiment to study the properties of the dense matter created by the heavy-ion collisions with 1–12[Formula: see text]AGeV/[Formula: see text] at J-PARC. This project aims to search for the QCD phase boundary and its critical endpoint and to study the equation of state of the dense matter at J-PARC. For this purpose, the high-intensity beam and the precision detector with high-speed DAQ are necessary. J-PARC will be upgraded to produce the world’s highest intensity of heavy-ion beam by adding a new compact heavy-ion linac and a booster ring and utilizing the existing RCS and MR synchrotrons. We will construct the multi-purpose spectrometer with a large acceptance to measure hadrons, dileptons and photons, and their correlations and fluctuations. In these proceedings, we will report the current status of the project, the design of the detector configuration, and detector R&D.

Fixed Target Experiment

PANDA is a fixed-target experiment that is going to address a wide range of open questions in the hadron physics sector by studying the interactions between antiprotons with high momenta and a stationary proton target. The PANDA detector is currently under construction and will be situated in the HESR that is a part of the future FAIR accelerator complex on the area of the GSI Helmholtzzentrum f¨ur Schwerionenforschung in Darmstadt. The key features of the detector are: the precise tracking in strong magnetic fields, excellent particle identification, and high-resolution calorimeters.
