Description
The goal of the Multi-Purpose Detector (MPD) [1] at the Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility (NICA) [2] is to explore the QCD phase diagram of strongly interacting matter produced in nucleus-nucleus collisions at center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 4$-$11 GeV in the region of high net baryon chemical potential and moderate temperatures. The anisotropic flow is a key observable in such collisions due to its sensitivity to both the transport properties and equation of state of the created strongly interacting quark gluon plasma (sQGP). MPD performance for anisotropic flow measurements is studied using Monte Carlo generators with MPD detector response simulated by GEANT4. Different flow measurement methods are applied to investigate the contribution of non-flow correlations and flow fluctuations.
