Detector based on microchannel plates for monitoring space-time characteristics of a circulating beam at Nuclotron

In the framework of the NICA project preparation and experiments with the extracted Nuclotron beams, the development of an advanced system of circulating-beam diagnostics based on microchannel plates is presented. The detector prototype that has been developed, created, and tested on Nuclotron beams during four runs allows the space-time characteristics of a beam to be measured within a range of singly charged ion intensities from 10 6 to 10 9 , which is not covered by the existing measuring tools.
