	Basic goal of the planned NICA facility at JINR is focused on the studying of heavy ion collisions over the energy range √s ~ 411 GeV/u. Capabilities of the proposed scheme were carefully analyzed in this case and reaching of the desired average luminosity, L = 1·10²⁷ cm^-2 s⁻¹ for gold-gold collisions at √s = 9 GeV/u, have been confirmed.

Basic goal of the planned NICA facility at JINR is focused on the studying of heavy ion collisions over the energy range √s ~ 411 GeV/u. Capabilities of the proposed scheme were carefully analyzed in this case and reaching of the desired average luminosity, L = 1·10²⁷ cm^-2 s⁻¹ for gold-gold collisions at √s = 9 GeV/u, have been confirmed. The other important NICA research domain is the experiments with polarized proton beams at the highest possible energy, the highest luminosity and polarization degree as well. The main aim is to provide √s ~ 25 GeV and L ~ 1·10³¹ cm^-2 s⁻¹. The unsolved aspects of the problem are discussed, possible solutions are analyzed and necessary modifications of the NICA scheme are considered as well.
