Description

Abstract.
The Spin Physics Detector is an experiment at NICA designed to study the spin structure of the proton and deuteron and the other spin-related phenomena using polarized beams.The collision energy is up to 27 GeV and the luminosity is up to 10^32 cm^−2 s^−1 in pp mode.
Two scintillator-based detectors, Beam-Beam Counters (BBC), will be installed upstream and downstream the interaction point and will serve as a tool for beam diagnostics including local polarimetry.
In this talk, we present the design of the BBC prototype based on the tiles with green WLS and SensL SiPM readout. FERS-5200 is used as the front-end readout system. The amplitude and timing resolutions for different tiles using radioactive source and cosmic rays are obtained.
