Azimuthal Anisotropy in the Asymmetric Collisions at the NICA Energy Range

The Multi-Purpose Detector (MPD) experiment at NICA accelerator complex will investigate the phase diagram of QCD matter at high net-baryon densities in collider ( $$\\sqrt {{{s}_{{NN}}}} $$ = 4–11 GeV) and fixed-target ( $$\\sqrt {{{s}_{{NN}}}} $$ = 2.3–3.5 GeV) modes. Anisotropic flow, as measured by the azimuthal anisotropy of final-state particles, provides crucial insights into the equation of state and transport properties of strongly interacting matter. In this study, we examine the anisotropic flow of protons and its scaling relations in both asymmetric (Xe + W) and symmetric (Xe + Xe and Au + Au) colliding systems at $$\\sqrt {{{s}_{{NN}}}} $$ = 2.87 GeV, using the UrQMD model calculations as a basis.
