NICA Project. The purpose of Spin Physics program at NICA is the study of the nucleon spin structure with high intensity polarized light nuclear beams NICA collider option with the light nuclear beams with the proton and deuteron ones. Collider can allow us to reach very high collision proton energy up to Ös ~ 26 GeV with the luminosity up to 1032 cm2/s (for Ös ~ 26 GeV) . For deuteron beams the collision energy per nucleon up to Ös ~ 12 GeV with the average luminosity up to 1031 cm2/s (for Ös ~ 12 GeV) . Both proton and deuteron beams can be effectively polarized. All these advantages give us unique possibilities to investigate at NICA the polarized phenomena and nucleon spin structure - one of the main tasks of the modern high energy physics Reports by D.Peshekhonov and A.Kovalenko ADVANCED STUDIES INSTITUTE SYMMETRIES AND SPIN, NICA-SPIN-2013, Prague, July 7 - 13, 2013 2
Proposed measurements. The following subjects are under consideration: ► DY processes. ► J/Y production processes. ► Studies of elastic reactions. ► Spin effects in one and two hadronproduction processes. ► Prompt photons. ► Spin effects in inclusive high-pT reactions. ► Final spin states effects and polarization effects in heavy ion collisions.

LoI preparation. • The preliminary design of (SPD) detector for spin effects studies is based on the requirements for the measurements of the DY, J/Ψ, photon and meson productions. These requirements are the following: • Almost 4 geometry; • precision vertex detector; • precision tracking system ; • precision momentum measurement; • good particle identification capabilities; • high trigger rate capabilities.
