Hardware-software complex for measurement of spectra from the one-coordinate X-ray detector

The hardware-software complex for applied researches in the area of crystallography is described. The functional description of the CAMAC controller KAT, incremental memory HM2K-24 and the software for measurement of spectra from the one-coordinate X-ray detector is presented. The developed complex works under Microsoft Windows NT/2000 and allows one to perform an accumulation, processing and visualization of spectra

Status and initial physics performance studies of the MPD experiment at NICA

The Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility (NICA) is under construction at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR), with commissioning of the facility expected in late 2022. The Multi-Purpose Detector (MPD) has been designed to operate at NICA and its components are currently in production. The detector is expected to be ready for data taking with the first beams from NICA. This document provides an overview of the landscape of the investigation of the QCD phase diagram in the region of maximum baryonic density, where NICA and MPD will be able to provide significant and unique input. It also provides a detailed description of the MPD set-up, including its various subsystems as well as its support and computing infrastructures. Selected performance studies for particular physics measurements at MPD are presented and discussed in the context of existing data and theoretical expectations
