Abstract

The Multi-Purpose Detector (MPD) is one of the key experiments of the Nuclotron-based Ion Collider Facility (NICA), which is nearing completion at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) in Dubna, Russia. The MPD will operate in both fixed-target and collider modes, with an energy range of \(\sqrt{s_{NN}}=2.4\) to \(3.5\) GeV and 4 to 11 GeV, respectively. The primary goal of the MPD experiment is to investigate the phase diagram of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) matter, with a specific emphasis on the domain of high baryon density and intermediate temperature, where a first-order phase transition is anticipated to occur. The paper presents an overview of the current status of the MPD commissioning and physics program.
