Towards a Realistic Monte Carlo Simulation of the MPD Detector at NICA

During the preparation of the physics program of any experiment it is very important to perform a realistic simulation of the detector, i.e. to describe real detector effects with as many details as possible. In this paper the current status of such a simulation of the MPD TPC (Time Projection Chamber) is demonstrated, including description of relevant processes. Data reconstruction approaches are also presented along with the main results on detector performance.
