OFFLINE SOFTWARE AND COMPUTING FOR THE SPD EXPERIMENT

Abstract

The SPD (Spin Physics Detector) is a planned spin physics experiment in the second interaction pointof the NICA collider that is under construction at JINR. The main goal of the experiment is the test ofbasic of the QCD via the study of the polarized structure of the nucleon and spin-related phenomena inthe collision of longitudinally and transversely polarized protons and deuterons at the center-of-massenergy up to 27 GeV and luminosity up to 1032 1/(cm2 s). The data rate at the maximum designluminosity is expected to reach 0.2 Tbit/s. Current approaches to SPD computing and offline softwarewill be presented. The plan of the computing and software R&D in the scope of the SPD TDRpreparation will be discussed.
