Study of Strongly Interacting Matter Properties at the Energies of the NICA Collider Using the Methods of Femtoscopy

We present a study of collective effects and dynamics of quark-hadron phase transitions by means of the femtoscopic correlations of hadrons at the NICA energies. A set of simulations of heavy-ion collisions (AuAu, BiBi) at the energies to be available with the NICA collider and experiments to be operated there (in particular, the MPD experiment), has been performed using two Monte Carlo generators. A femtoscopic analysis for charged pions and kaons have shown a sensitivity of the observables to the equation of state (EoS) for both event generators. Also, a study of the influence of detector effects like track-merging and track-splitting in the TPC, the main tracker device of the MPD experiment, on femtoscopic measurements is presented in this work.
