DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Aleksandr Makhnev (INR of RAS)\nThe BM@N experiment\
 , located at the Nuclotron facility in Dubna at the Joint\nInstitute for N
 uclear Research (JINR)\, is a fixed-target experiment designed to\ninvesti
 gate heavy ion collisions at beam energies up to 4 A GeV. A novel Highly\n
 Granular Neutron Detector (HGND) is being designed and constructed for the
 \nexperiment to measure neutron spectra and yields using time-of flight me
 thod in\nthe kinetic energy range of 0.5–4 GeV. These observables will b
 e very important to\nstudy contribution of symmetry energy in the equation
  of state of dense nuclear\nmatter. The high granularity of this detector 
 is crucial for accurate neutron\nidentification and represents the main de
 sign challenge of the HGND. The detector\nis constructed as a layered stru
 cture composed of copper absorbers and readout\nlayers\, each containing a
 n 11x11 grid of plastic scintillators\, along with a Multi-\nPixel Photon 
 Counter (MPPC) based board and an LED calibration board. Multi-Pixel Photo
 n Counter (MPPC)-based board and an LED calibration board. This work detai
 ls the design\, production\, and testing of these boards\, as well as the 
 progress on the mechanical fixtures and support structures required for th
 e assembly of the detector.\n\nhttps://indico.particle.mephi.ru/event/436/
