DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Victor Kim (NRC Kurchatov Institute - PNPI)\nThe Spi
 n Physics Detector (SPD) is a universal detector at the NICA collider unde
 r comissioning at JINR\, Dubna. The SPD is intended to study the spin stru
 cture of the proton and deuteron and other spin-related phenomena using a 
 unique possibility to operate with polarized proton and deuteron beams at 
 a collision energy up to 27 GeV and a luminosity up to $10^{32}$ cm$^{-2}$
  s$^{-1}$. As the primary goal\, the experiment aims to provide access to 
 the gluon TMD PDFs in the proton and deuteron\, as well as the gluon trans
 versity distribution and tensor PDFs in the deuteron\, via the measurement
 s of specific single and double spin asymmetries using different complemen
 tary probes such as charmonia\, open charm\, and prompt photon production 
 processes. Other polarized and unpolarized physics is possible\, especiall
 y at the first stage of NICA operation with reduced luminosity and collisi
 on energy of the proton and ion beams. The physics program of the SPD and 
 the design of the SPD setup will be presented.\n\nhttps://indico.particle.
