SCIENCE BRINGS NATIONS TOGETHER Workshop on physics performance studies at NICA (NICA-2025)

15 Dec 2025, 09:00 → 17 Dec 2025, 21:00 Europe/Moscow

Arkadiy Taranenko (VBLHEP JINR), Evgeni Kolomeitsev (BLTP, JINR, Dubna), Viktor Riabov (NRC "Kurchatov Institute" PNPI)

The International Workshop aims to promote scientific exchange and development of novel ideas on physics performance studies for BM@N and MPD experiments at NICA facility. Related theoretical and experimental activities in physics of relativistic heavy-ion collisions will also be discussed

The workshop will take place on December 15-17, 2025 (Moscow time).
