Lessons from the 1st generation HI experiments • Evidence for the onset of deconfinement @ low SPS energies √sNN ~ 7 GeV & sQGP matter @ RHIC • 2nd generation HI experiments (STAR, NA61, ALICE, • ATLAS, CMS) continue the exploration of the QCD • phase diagram But, a further research program in studying the QCD phase diagram with the existing detectors appears to have drawbacks due limitations either in accelerator parameters (energy range, luminosity) or by constrains in experimental setups (acceptance, event rates, etc..)
Motivation for the next generation of HI experiments 3rd generation experiment with dedicated detectors are required for more sensitive and detailed study
2nd generation HI experiments STAR/PHENIX @ BNL/RHIC. Originally designed for higher energies (sNN > 20 GeV), low luminosity for LES program L<1026 cm-2s-1 for Au79+, too few energies. NA61 @ CERN/SPS. Fixed target, non-uniform acceptance, few energies (10,20,30,40,80,160A GeV), poor nomenclature of beam species ALICE, ATLAS, CMS @ CERN/LHCToo high energies (sNN > ~1TeV ), poor nomenclature of beam species 3rd generation HI experiments CBM @ FAIR/SIS-100/300 Fixed target, E/A=10-40 GeV, high luminosity, But, max. energies in 2018! MPD @ JINR/NICA.Collider, small enough energy steps in the range sNN = 4-11 GeV, a variety of colliding systems, L~1027 cm-2s-1 for Au79+ at 9 GeV.
Why the NICA and FAIR energy range is so important The energies of the NICA and FAIR sit right on top of the region where the baryon density at the freeze-out is expected to be thehighest. It will thus allow to analyze the highest baryonic density under laboratory conditions. Also, in this energy range the system occupies a maximal space-time volume in the mixed quark-hadron phase (the phase of coexistence of hadron and quark-qluon matter similar to the water-vapor coexistence-phase).

The NICA design passed the stage of concept formulation and is presently under • detailed simulation of accelerator elements parameters, • development of working project, • manufacturing and construction of prototypes, • preparation of the project for state expertise • in accordance with regulations of Russian Federation. • The project realization plan foresees a staged construction and commissioning of accelerators forming the facility. The main goal is the facility commissioning in 2016. 38
Conclusions • Some indications of deconfined partonic matter come from SPS, RHIC & LHC HIC at √sNN > 10 GeV (µB < 400 MeV); particularly, FO points (T, µB) calculated within Thermal Model seem to be close to QGPphase boundary for small µB< 400 MeV • Absence of fluctuation & femtoscopic signals of CEP and 1-st order PT at √sNN < 10 GeV is likely due to a dramatic decrease of partonic phase with decreasing energy • Search for the effects of QGP 1-st order PT (onset and CEP) can be successful only in dedicated high statistics and precise experiments like NICAand FAIR • NICA is under construction in JINR and its startup is supposed in 2016 Welcome
