Let’s remember classic analogy: boiling water –
- a flow of bubbles fluctuates tremendously.
Which fluctuations should one look for? The idea: to locate the critical point using correlation / fluctuation of experimental data, e.g. dispersion and higher momenta of R = 〈K+〉/〈π+〉 ): DR = 〈(R - 〈R〉)2〉
M3R = 〈(R - 〈R〉)3〉 ………………….
1. NICA Research Program A. Heavy Ions
What to look for ? Much convincing:
6) Fluctuations! They are “a sign” of the mixed phase: system becomes unstable at the two-phases stage!
Detection of The Mixed Phase
And fluctuations of other parameters of collision reactions…
NICA Project I.Meshkov XXI DAE-BRNS HEP Symposium IIT Guwahati 8-12 December 2014
Experiment at RHIC at √s ~ 200 GeV/u has given zero result:
DR = M3R =… = M6R = 0.
At low energy (Beam Energy Scan – BES) STAR/RHIC could not study
correlation due to lack of statistics (low luminosity, see below).

Motivation:
“Experiments with spin have killed more theories than any other single physical parameter.”
James Daniel Bjorken [Quoted by the book of Elliot Leader, “Spin in Particle Physics”, Cambridge Univ. Press, 2001]
1. NICA Research Program B. Spin Physics
Another version: “Polarization data has often been the graveyard of fashionable theories. If theorists had their way they might well ban such measurements altogether out of self-protection.”
J.D. Bjorken (From O.Teryaev 23.05.2014)

Intriguing question: Why RHIC has low luminosity at the energy where luminosity of NICA is relatively high??
The reason is the beam space charge: Nbunch ∝ 1/Cring , L ∝ (Nbunch)2 ∝ 1/(Cring)2 !

9. NICA – Stage III : Collider of polarized beams
1st concept of the collider beams has been developed
It assumes acceleration of polarized protons (!) and deuterons in Nuclotron avoiding the Booster.
New concept with polarized particles acceleration in the Booster and storage in the Collider rings is under preliminary consideration.
Analysis of depolarization effects in the Collider is in progress.
Concept of polarized protons in Nuclotron has been developed, but its realization requires significant upgrade of Nuclotron.

11. Civil engineering – Status and Plans
Contract for the 1st phase of the Collider building construction has been signed with the building company “Strabag”, Austria (the winner of the tender). The 1st phase assumes preparatory work on NICA site analysis and infrastructure for construction work preparation. Then the 2nd phase – the building construction works – begin. Civil construction duration is estimated by Strabag Co as
36 months! Beginning of Collider mounting is planned for September 2018
Start up version of NICA commissioning
is scheduled for 2019.
