Resonance Reconstruction in the MPD

Abstract

The study of hadronic resonance production is an essential part of the physical programs of many heavy-ion experiments. Detailed measurement of the resonance properties is also foreseen in the future Multi-Purpose Detector (MPD) experiment at the NICA collider. In this report, we focus on the experimental challenges for the reconstruction of resonances in heavy-ion experiments and examine the MPD capabilities for the reconstruction of ρ(770)0, K*(892)0,±, φ(1020), Λ(1520), Σ(1385)± and Ξ(1530)0.
