Abstract
The Multi-Purpose Detector (MPD) is one of the two heavy-ion experiments under construction at the Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility (NICA) at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) in Dubna, which is designed to run in the collider mode. In its initial stage of operation, the MPD will study collisions of heavy ions in the energy range √sNN = 4–11 GeV, starting with Bi+Bi collisions at √sNN = 9.2 GeV. The MPD is an international collaboration consisting of 35 institutions from 11 countries with more than 500 participants. The MPD aims to study the phase diagram of QCD matter at maximum baryonic density, to determine the onset and the nature of the phase transition between the deconfined matter and to search for the conjectured critical end point. In this document, we describe the MPD detector and its physics program, with emphasis on the first physics measurements with beams as well as the expected performance of all the detector subsystems.
