These data have been obtained in 2016-2017 at DSS setup at internal target station using polarized deuteron beam from new source of polarized ions. The preliminary data on the deuteron analyzing powers in in the wide energy range demonstrate the sensitivity to the short-range spin structure of the nucleon-nucleon correlations. (paper)

[en] Measurements of analyzing powers A_y, A_yy, and A_xx for d-p elastic scattering were performed at E_d = 0.88 and 2.0 GeV using a high-energy deuteron beam polarimeter at the Internal Target Station of the Nuclotron at JINR. The analyzing power data at 0.88 GeV are compared with several theoretical calculations

[en] The spin program at NICA using SPD and MPD requires high intensity polarized proton beam with high value of the beam polarization. First results on the measurements of the proton beam polarization performed at internal target at Nuclotron are reported. The polarization of the proton beam provided by new source of polarized ions has been measured at 500 MeV using quasielastic proton-proton scattering and DSS setup at internal target. The obtained value of the vertical polarization of ∼35% is consistent with the calculations taking into account the current magnetic optics of the Nuclotron injection line. (paper)

[en] Recent results on the deuteron analyzing powers obtained in collisions of polarized deuterons with protons and light nuclei at intermediate and high energies are reported. The obtained results are sensitive to the spin structure of the short range correlations. The prospects of the spin program for hadronic reactions at Nuclotron-NICA facility is discussed. The polarimetry developments are also presented.

[en] Deuteron Spin Structure (DSS) collaboration program is aimed on few nucleon correlations investigation using unpolarized and polarized deuteron beam at intermediate energy range. Data of the dp breakup reaction have been obtained at energy range from 300 - 500 MeV of deuteron energy for various detector configurations in region where few nucleon correlations and relativistic effects can play significant role. Results are obtained in the form of S-curve and T ₂₀ and iT ₁₁ tensor analyzing powers in case of unpolarized and polarized data, respectively. Future plans on extracted deuteron beam of Nuclotron are concerned to tensor analyzing power T ₂₀ and spin correlation C_yy of ³ He(d, p)⁴ He reaction in the kinetic energy range between 1.0 and 1.75 GeV.

[en] The feasibility study for the measurements of the polarization observables in the "3He(d,p) "4He reaction for DSS project using a part of the BM@N setup have been performed. Deuteron beam with energy of 1.5 GeV, magnet, 12 stations GEM tracker and TOF wall were used in simulations in order to obtain momentum resolution and to prove the separation of the secondary protons and deuterons. Summarized results of the dp breakup reactions with detection of two protons in coincidence for some kinematic configurations at energies from 300 to 500 MeV obtained in Nuclotron are presented.
