From the Nuclotron to BM@N — the upgraded ion guide has been experimentally tested
At the Laboratory for High Energy Physics, during the first full-scale run at the BM@N facility, which ended in February 2023, where a xenon Xe ion beam interacted on a cesium-iodine CsI target, and where more than 550 million events were collected, an upgraded ion guide was tested, which goes from the Nuclotron to the BM@N.

First relocation of MPD solenoid to beam position
On 5–6 December 2023, the technological relocation of the superconducting solenoid took place in the pavilion of the Multi-Purpose Detector (MPD) of the NICA Accelerator Complex. The superconducting solenoid is an 800-tonne magnet. The detector together with the side platform for electronic equipment was moved to its working position, the beam position.
