Abstract

One of the main tasks of the NICA/MPD physics program is a study of low-mass vector mesons ρ, ω, ϕ by measuring their dileptonic decay channels. In this paper, the current status of simulations of electron-positron pair measurements in MPD is presented and the detector performance for such measurements is discussed.
