On 25–27 November 2024, the International Workshop on Methods of Data Analysis and Processing in Experiments at the NICA Accelerator Complex (NICA 2024), organized jointly by the National Research Nuclear University Moscow Engineering Physics Institute (NRNU MEPhI) and JINR, will take place online.

The workshop will bring together experts involved in the theory and analysis of real data from experiments on the nucleus-nucleus collision research and in the preparation of the BM@N and MPD Experiments at the NICA Accelerator Complex. The main scientific goal of these experiments is to study the phase diagram of highly compressed baryonic matter in laboratory conditions. In nature, such matter is formed only in neutron star mergers or as a result of supernova explosions.

More than 100 scientists from Bulgaria, Brazil, China, India, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Russia, Serbia, USA, and Uzbekistan will take part in the workshop, including experimentalists from international collaborations: BM@N (NICA), MPD (NICA), STAR (BNL), and ALICE (CERN), along with theoreticians from the Laboratory of Theoretical Physics at JINR and other scientific centres researching strongly interacting matter.

The international workshop is organized by the NRNU MEPhI group for the study of nucleus-nucleus collisions together with the Laboratory of Theoretical Physics and the Laboratory of High Energy Physics at JINR. As always, leaders of Chinese groups of the international MPD (Multi-Purpose Detector) Collaboration at the NICA Accelerator Complex actively participate in holding the workshop.

The event will take place online on Zoom. Detailed information about the event is available via the website.

Registration is required to participate in the workshop. Application submission deadline is 24 November 2024.
