BM@N (Baryonic Matter at Nuclotron) is the first experiment to be realized at the accelerator complex of NICA-Nuclotron at JINR (Dubna). The aim of the experiment is to study interactions of relativistic heavy ion beams of kinetic energy per nucleon ranging from 1 to 4.5 GeV with fixed targets. First results of the analysis of minimum bias interactions of the deuteron and carbon beams of 4 AGeV kinetic energy with different targets are discussed. Preliminary results from the data collected in the recent experimental run with the argon beam are also presented.
