  The Nuclotron upgrade – the Nuclotron-M project, which had been started in 2007, involved the modernization of almost all of the accelerator systems, using beam time during seven runs devoted to testing newly installed equipment. Following the project goals, in March 2010 Xe ions were accelerated to about 1.5 GeV/u. In December 2010, the stable and safe operation of the magnetic system was achieved with a main field of 2 T. The successful completion of the project paves the way for further development of the Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility (NICA).

  In the last years Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility (NICA) project is being developed by Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR), Dubna, Russia. The goal of the project is to construct new accelerator complex that will be used for colliding ion beams on first stage and colliding polarized proton/deuteron beams on second stage of the project. NICA accelerator complex will consist of two linear accelerators, two superconducting synchrotrons, two superconducting storage rings of the collider and transport beamlines. Geometry and magnetic system of NICA beamlines are presented in this report. Results of beam dynamics simulations within the beamlines are considered.
