On the study of antiprotons yield in hadronic collisions at NICA SPD

Abstract

The study of antiproton yield in $p$-$p$ and $p$-$d$ collisions is important for the astrophysical search for dark matter consisting of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles. Refinement of the production cross section, angular and momentum spectra of produced antiprotons in a wide energy range could help to treat the results obtained by the AMS-02 and PAMELA orbit spectrometers. In this paper we present a detailed Monte Carlo study of possible measurements at the planned SPD experiment at the NICA collider that is under construction at JINR (Dubna).
