Construction of Stations for Applied Research at the NICA Accelerator Complex

The applied stations: ISCRA (energy range of 150–500 MeV/n), SOCHI (ion energy up to 3.2 MeV/n), and SIMBO (energy range 500–1000 MeV/n) are under construction as a part of the NICA accelerator complex. These stations will be used for single event effects testing of as capsulated, so decapsulated microchips, and for radiobiological research and modelling of influence of heavy charged particles on cognitive functions of animal’s brain, respectively. This paper presents the applied stations description. Mounting and commissioning of the SOCHI station are completed. The ISCRA and SIMBO stations mounting is planned in early 2022. Beam runs at the SOCHI were performed in December 2021, at the ISCRA and SIMBO are planned in fall 2022.
