Applied Research Stations and New Beam Transfer Lines at the NICA Accelerator Complex

International audienceApplied research at the NICA accelerator complex include the following areas that are under construction: single event effects testing on capsulated microchips (energy range of 150-500 MeV/n) at the Irradiation Setup for Components of Radioelectronic Apparature (ISCRA) and on decapsulated microchips (ion energy up to 3,2 MeV/n) at the Station of CHip Irradiation (SOCHI), space radiobiological research and modelling of influence of heavy charged particles on cognitive functions of the brain of small laboratory animals and primates (ener-gy range 500-1000 MeV/n) at the Setup for Investigation of Medical Biological Objects (SIMBO). Description of main systems and beam parameters at the ISCRA, SOCHI and SIMBO applied research stations is presented. The new beam transfer lines from the Nuclotron to ISCRA and SIMBO stations, and from HILAC to SOCHI station are being constructed. Description of the transfer lines layout, the magnets and diagnostic detectors, results of the beam dynamics simulations are described given
