Abstract
D mesons and the λ baryon are currently considered as one of the most perspective probes for search of quark deconfinement of the matter during its transition from a state of hadron gas to quark-gluon plasma. The tracking system of the MPD experiment at NICA collider will include the vertex silicon detector MPD-ITS designed for the efficient registration of these short-lived products of nuclear-nuclear interactions, to be built using Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors (MAPS) following the corresponding know-how transfer from CERN’s ALICE-ITS2 project. The present status of the MPD-ITS project is reported here.
