“…Among the new experiments, the MPD detector foresees the installation of a Inner Tracking System in the second phase of the experiment, starting 2023; the sensitivity to open charm decays in heavy-ion collisions, however, is not yet proven [32]. The CBM detector also features detection of open charm by a Micro-Vertex Detector (MVD) [14].…”

In the next decade, several new accelerator facilities will come into operation, which will offer unprecedented opportunities for the experimental investigation of strongly interacting matter at high net-baryon densities as created in nucleus-nucleus collisions at moderate energies. The new experiments will complement existing and running experiments in this field and enhance the physics reach with increased rate capabilities. In this article, we give an overview of the facilities and experiments currently under construction, compare their capabilities, and briefly discuss the physics prospects opening up with the data from these experiments.

“…In order to optimize the ITS configuration and study the performance of the upgraded detector, a dedicated ITS track reconstruction method based on a constrained combinatorial search was developed and implemented as a Vector Finder toolkit [7,8]. The approach is described below, and some results of its application to track and hyperon decay reconstruction in the MPD ITS are presented.…”

As a part of the future upgrade program of the Multi-Purpose Detector (MPD) experiment at the Nuclotron-Based Ion Collider Facility (NICA) complex, an Inner Tracking System (ITS) made of Monolitic Active Pixel Sensors (MAPSs) is proposed between the beam pipe and the Time Projection Chamber (TPC). It is expected that the new detector will enhance the experimental potential for the reconstruction of short-lived particles—in particular, those containing the open charm particle. To study the detector performance and select its best configuration, a track reconstruction approach based on a constrained combinatorial search was developed and implemented as a software toolkit called Vector Finder. This paper describes the proposed approach and demonstrates its characteristics for primary and secondary track finding in ITS, ITS-to-TPC track matching and hyperon reconstruction within the MPD software framework. The results were obtained on a set of simulated central gold–gold collision events at sNN=9 GeV with an average multiplicity of ∼1000 charged particles in the detector acceptance produced with the Ultra-Relativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics (UrQMD) generator.
