Description
The BM@N (Baryonic Matter at Nuclotron) is the fixed target
experiment at NICA-Nuclotron (JINR, Dubna, Russia) accelerator
complex. The main goal of the BM@N experiment is studying properties
of dense nuclear matter produced in the ion-ion collisions. First
experiments were done for carbon, argon and krypton ions beams with C,
Al, Cu and Pb targets at beam energies up to 4.5 AGeV. The methods of
central events selection on event-by-event base with old ZDC (Zero
Degree Calorimeter) for these reactions will be presented.
The new Forward Hadron Calorimeter (FHCAL) with transverse and
longitudinal segmentation will be used to measure the collision centrality in heavy ion experiments after the BM@N upgrade. The FHCAL has the beam hole in the center due to expected high beam intensities. New forward
quartz hodoscope is developing to be placed in the beam hole to measure
the charge of fragments. New methods of centrality determination with
the FHCAL and forward quartz hodoscope will be discussed.
