title = "Possible Studies at the First Stage of the NICA Collider Operation with Polarized and Unpolarized Proton and Deuteron Beams",
abstract = "Abstract: Nuclotron based Ion Collider fAcility (NICA) project is in progress at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research and will start experiments with heavy ions. In the context of the NICA hadronic physics programme double polarized pp-, dd- and pd-collisions even at lower energies of (Formula presented.), which will be accessible already at the initial stage of experiments,are essential tools for precise studying the spin dependence of the nucleon–nucleon strong interactions, in both elastic and deep-inelastic regimes. A special interest is interaction in few baryon systems at double strangeness, charm and beauty thresholds.For instance, polarized large-angle elastic pp and pn scattering near the charm threshold allows one to get an access to properties of possible exotic multiquark states and their relation to the states recently observed at LHCb.Large angle scattering of protons and deuterons on the deuteron contains unique information on the short-range structure of the deuteron, its nonnucleonic degrees of freedom and also on color transparency phenomenon. Furthermore, double polarized proton–deuteron scattering offer a possibility to test the Standard Model through the search for time-invariance (or CP-invariance under CPT symmetry) violation and parity-violation in single-polarized scattering. This paper contains suggestions for experiments with usage of the Spin Physics Detector (SPD) and discusses perspectives of the first stage of the SPD Programme. This includes experiments with nonpolarized beams too as well as collisions like 12С–12С and 40Сa–40Ca.",

note = "Funding Information: The SPD project at NICA aims primarily at polarization experiments in the collider mode. In the broader context, the main virtue of NICA facility is high current beams of polarized protons and deuterons [392, 393]. We report here new ideas developed in the framework of the Russian Fund for Basic Research Grant No. 18-02-40092 MEGA. Basically, we propose addendum to the previously discussed spin physics programme of the NICA facility. For decades to come, NICA will be a holder of a unique potential to conduct fixed target experimental tests of fundamental symmetries within or beyond the Standard Model (SM), and one should not overlook this outstanding opportunity.
