What NEXT? … Prospects for NICA at 20 years Horizon
- Experiments on the observation of spontaneous electron–positron pair creation in supercritical Coulomb fields (new 2 compact SC rings with merging bare Uranium beams).
- Mass-spectroscopy of radioactive heavy ion beams in isochronous mode (using booster or collider ring) + measurement of nuclei PDF with colliding/merging electron beam (up to 1 GeV).
- Accelerator physics R&D in:- SC linear injector for protons (MW beam as a goal) - high-field magnets - up to 5T- high brightness beams (Extrahigh luminosity mode)
- Detector R&D in:- silicon trackers- large SC magnets and solenoids using HTSC
since the NICA will be the only facility providing
•heavy ion collisions at the collider mode in the energy range of maximum baryonic density;
•collisions of protons & deuterons with all combinations oftransversal and longitudinal polarizations;
•variety of extracted heavy ion beams for applied researches.
In its final stage NICA will represent high scientific excellence,pan-European relevance and a socio-economic impact
NICA construction already involves Russian and European companies in active works for several years
Good visibility creates interest of new potential users of the facility.
We anticipate increasing of the user base from ~ 400-450 users now to more than 1500, when all facilities are constructed and fully operational.
The main incentive for engaging of new users will be a unique nomenclature of ion and neutron beams
and a scientific infrastructure created at the JINR, Dubna, RF.
The requirements and procedure how to use the facility - regulated by JINR rules of project consideration and approval:http://www.jinr.ru/section.asp?sd_id=220&language=eng
Proposal for some megascience rules:
The wide cooperation has been established for the development of the NICA accelerator and detector complexes,
and for the theoretical support. This cooperation will be expanded taking into account
the growing experimental collaborations;
International cooperation
The inclusion of the NICA complex and other Russian megascience projects to the ESFRI and BRICS RI Road Maps
will give a boost in attracting scientists all over the world for participation in the our project;
The development of the legislative base for international collaborations around Russian megaprojects has been started. NICA – is ideal example of existing RI;
The development of proper social infrastructure is required to give new attraction to Russian megaprojects. State programs could be a good support.
European commission on Russian mega-science projects (May-Dec 2013)
The fact that NICA/JINR are part of the EU research infrastructures landscape has already been recognized by ESFRI. The Expert Group (EG) recommends that the NICA project be fully taken into account in the forthcoming discussions on the next update of the ESFRI Roadmap. The EG encourages JINR to continue actively develop new and extended cooperation with potential European partner institutions. The exceptional opportunities available in Dubna to young scientists and engineers should be more widely promoted.
