2nd workshop on "Physics performance studies at FAIR and NICA" (FANI-2020 #2)

The International Workshop (December 08-10, 2020, Moscow time) aims to promote scientific exchange and development of novel ideas on tracking, reconstruction, and physics performance studies at FAIR and NICA in heavy-ion collisions at future CBM (FAIR) and MPD (NICA) experiments.

The first day will be dedicated to the following lectures:

• Introductory lecture related to HIC at FAIR-NICA energies, Prof. Peter Senger (GSI, NRNU MEPhI)
• Short-lived resonances as probes of the medium produced in heavy-ion collisions, Prof. Victor Riabov (NRC Kurchatov Institute - PNPI)
• Vorticity and polarization, Dr. Takafumi Niida (University of Tsukuba)
• Overview of direct photon production in heavy-ion collisions and estimations for NICA-FAIR energies, Dr. Dmitri Peresunko (NRC Kurchatov Institute)
• Dilepton measurements, Prof. Tetyana Galatyuk (GSI)
• Track reconstruction in heavy-ion collisions, Dr. Sergey Gorbunov (GSI)
• Spectra and Hypernuclei, Dr. Zhangbu Xu (Brookhaven National Laboratory)

The second and third days of the Workshop will include talks dedicated to the following main topics:

• Track, vertex and resonance reconstruction methods applied to collider and fixed-target experiments
• Performance studies for the future CBM and MPD experiments
