Abstract
Short-lived resonances have always played an important role in the physical programs of heavy-ion experiments. The resonances measured in the hadronic decay channels probe strangeness production, hadronization at intermediate and high transverse momenta, and rescattering and regeneration effects in the hadronic phase of nucleus–nucleus collisions at various energies. Properties of the resonances produced in collisions of heavy nuclei at NICA accelerator energies have never been studied in detail. Properties of the resonances and their sensitivity to various studies of collisions of Au nuclei expected at NICA energies are considered. Results of feasibility studies for reconstruction of resonances in the MPD experimental setup are presented and discussed.
