摘要

Abstract—

The NICA accelerator complex intended for studying baryonic matter and research in spin physics is currently at the stage of construction and mounting at the JINR. The NICA injection complex was designed to produce heavy ions with an energy of 1–3.9 GeV/u. The injection complex consists of two new accelerators: Heavy Ion Linear Accelerator, HILAC, and the superconducting synchrotron, Booster, and the modernized superconducting synchrotron, Nuclotron. The injection facility provides heavy ion beams for the NICA collider and the fix target experiments. The results of the fourth Booster-Nuclotron beam run for fix target experiments on the BM@N setup are discussed. The completion of the facility equipment construction and mounting are also presented along with the plans of first collider runs.
