  Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility (NICA) is the new experimental heavy-ion complex being constructed at Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, Dubna. Main purpose of the project is to provide experiment on colliding heavy ion beams (Au) for study of manifestation of hot and dense strongly interacting baryonic matter. The construction of the accelerator complex is actively performed: new 3.2 MeV/u heavy-ion linear accelerator (HILac) is now under commissioning, serial production of Booster synchrotron elements is going in schedule. Systems for collider had been prototyped and start of serial production is in 2015. Beam cooling systems are suggested for application at NICA. The Booster equipped with 35 keV electron cooling system. Two beam cooling systems: stochastic and electron, will be used in the collider. Parameters of cooling systems, proposed scenario of collider operation, design intended to achieve required average luminosity of the order of 1027cm-2s-1, start-up version of the complex for 2019 are presented.

  Stochastic cooling is obligatory for the NICA accelerator facility that is presently under development at JINR, Russia. Cooling will work with the high-intensity bunched beams in the 3-4.5 GeV energy range; all three dimensions will be treated simultaneously. The preparatory experimental work on stochastic cooling is carried out at accelerator Nuclotron (JINR) since 2010. During this work hardware solutions and automation techniques for system adjustment have been worked out and tested. Based on the gained experience the overall design of the NICA stochastic cooling system was also developed. The report describes the results of cooling experiments at Nuclotron, the developed adjustment automation techniques and presents the design of the NICA stochastic cooling system.
