Studies made with the UrQMD and the BeBe detector showed an efficiency below expected in ranges of pseudorapidity near the beam direction, this was the main motivation to use a different transport approach. The Parton-Hadron String Dynamics describes the full evolution of events coming from heavy-ion collisions, with a theoretical description different from the UrQMD. Preliminary results with the ...

The electromagnetic fields at energies of the MPD-NICA experiment are intense on the order of one Pion mass squared, in units of the international system it is approximately $ 10^{13}$ $T $. In this talk, we present the characterization of electromagnetic fields at the initial moment of the collision at NICA energies, their temporal evolution and considering the electromagnetic fields in UrQMD nat ...

Nonzero baryon density QCD lattice simulations suffer from the well known sign problem, which has so far prevented the exploration of the QCD phase diagram. In this talk we discuss our results on the phase diagram of the 3d O(4) model. This model is an effective theory of QCD with two flavors in the chiral limit, which can be simulated at nonzero baryon density without sign problem. In this model ... More

In this talk we report on a calculation for particle hadronization after heavy ion collisions using both the Siemens-Rassmusen and the Schnederman-Sollfrank-Heinz freeze-out models. We compare the transverse momentum spectra of pions and protons using these models with RHIC data. Furthermore, we use Therminator generator to simulate Au+Au collisions at 200 GeV, and also we compare with RHIC data. ... More

The system created in semi-central heavy ion collisions behaves like a fluid with a large orbital angular momenta, resulting in a great vorticity. Due the spin-orbit coupling we expect that particles produced in such collisions, acquire polarization in the direction of the orbital angular momenta of the system, and that the induced polarization be the same for particles and antiparticles. However ... More

Multi-Purpose Detector (MPD) is a part of Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility (NICA) located in Dubna, Russia. For full functionality, the MPD needs an additional trigger system for off-beam calibration of MPD sub-detectors and for rejection of cosmic ray particles (mainly muons). The system could also be very useful for astrophysics observations of cosmic showers initiated by high energy primar ... More

The MexNICA collaboration is a consortium formed by researchers and students from five Mexican institutions working within the NICA-MPD. During the last three years we have defined a solid scientific program that includes the design and construction of two detectors: a fast TOF trigger and a beam-monitoring detector. The program also includes exploring signals to characterize the kind of matter fo ... More

Using the linear sigma model coupled to quarks, we discuss the influence of an external magnetic field on the QCD phase diagram in the temperature vs.chemical potential plane. Provided the plasma screening is properly accounted, we show that the critical temperature for the phase transition, chiral symmetry restoration, decrease with increasing magnetic field (inverse magnetic catalysis). The loca ... More

The mechanical structure will be the main support for the active elements and electronics of miniBeBe. Its location and installation will be around the beam tube, in the center of the MPD (Multi-Purpose Detector). For this version, the low-cost requirements were considered, which optimized a lightweight and firm structure. The first structural design approach was made through 3D printing, which al ... More

The location of the ---up to now hypothetical--- critical end point and the exploration of the QCD phase diagram are important challenges both theoretically and experimentally. With two massless quark flavors the QCD Lagrangian has a $SU(2)_L\otimes SU(2)_R \simeq O(4)$ symmetry. This Lagrangian is the same as the four component Heisenberg ferromagnet which we use as an effective model. With degen ... More

The Multi-Purpose Detector (MPD) is at Nuclotron Ion Collider fAcility (NICA) of Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR). An important part of the experiment is the particle identification analysis. The idea is to determine from reconstruction, the particles that interact with each MPD sub-detector. This particle identification (PID) is made using statistical techniques (Bayesian method) from ... More

In this work, the photon production at the early stages of a heavy-ion collision is computed by taking into account the magnetic field effects on a magnetized glasma. In particular, the gluon fusion and gluon splitting channels are considered. The magnetic field effect is given in terms of the internal quark lines through the fermion propagator expressed in Landau levels. Moreover, the dependence ... More

QCD at high chemical potential has interesting properties such as diquark condensation and deconfinement of quarks. Two-colour QCD, which enables numerical simulations on the lattice, constitutes a laboratory to study QCD at high chemical potential. We studied two colour QCD at high density, using the Nambu-Gorkov formalism, which puts the quarks and antiquarks into a single spinor. We examine ... More

The miniBeBe detector is designed to be a level 0 trigger for the TOF detector in the NICA-MPD. This detector needs to have a fast response to function correctly as a trigger, so it is important to implement it in the MPDRoot Framework and perform simulation studies. In this talk I discuss the capabilities of miniBeBe from the results of our simulations to be a level 0 trigger detector for TOF, be ... More

The polarization of $\Lambda$ hyperons is self-analyzed in their weak decays and represents a sensitive tool to explore the dynamics of hadronic reactions and heavy-ion collisions. It was extensively studied in hadronic reactions, where it is directed along the normal to the scattering plane. In heavy-ion collisions this observable is expected to decrease due to randomization of the scattering on ... More

The Schwinger model represents Quantum Electrodynamics in 2 space-time dimensions ($2d$ QED). It shares key properties with $4d$ QCD, in particular confinement and topology. We present preliminary simulations results of its lattice formulation with $N_f$=2 degenerate fermion flavors, which are represented as Wilson fermions, in anisotropic volumes. At any $N_f$>1 the chiral condensate vanishe ... More

With the arrival of a new generation of experiments that will allow us to probe QCD at densities and temperatures closer to the CEP, it is more important than ever to extract insights from the complex theory of QCD. Given this complexity, physicist has resorted to diverse direct and indirect methods to extract predictions from the theory, among those methods are: pQCD for high energy interactio ... More

The essential ingredients of QCD description of spin asymmetries in hadronic and heavy-ion collisions are reviewed and compared. The parity conserving QCD Lagrangian implies the orientation of spin pseudovector along the normal to scattering or reaction plane. The role of axial anomaly in producing the spin-orbital coupling is discussed. The imaginary phases due to higher twist in hadronic colli ... More

Using Geant4 software, it was made sixty simulations of coupled square geometry detectors to plastic scintillators with silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs): thirty of these simulations were made locating two SiPMs (2 Scores) on the scintillator’s central sides, and the other thirty simulations locating one SiPM (1 Score) on the center of the scintillator’s rear face. To characterize the time reso ... More

Experiments that collide heavy nuclei at high energies have proven to be incredibly useful to study matter at its fundamental level. One of the most striking features of matter in heavy-ion collisions is that it forms the most perfect fluid that we know of and, consequently, can be described using the methods of hydrodynamics. Within this framework, the study of the thermal vorticity can lead to ... More
