But: Strong confining interaction at large distances
March 17, 2016 V.Kekelidze, JAI/PP seminar, Oxford Yukawa coupling; charge screening, de-confinement
D.J.Gross, H.D.Politzer, F.Wilczek The regime of “asymptotic freedom” is reached in hard processes at sufficiently high energies, The super dense nuclear matter could be obtained in heavy ion interactions however, this regime could be available already at rather low energies in super dense nuclear matter (the distance between particles ~ 1/T) typical size R0 ~ 1 fm = 10 -13 cm R

In the medium-term prospect the NICA complex will be the only facility in Europe providing unique high intensity ion beams (from p to Au, p and d) in the energy range from 2 – 27 GeV (c.m.s.), which could be used for both fundamental and applied researches. Researches at the NICA complex will contribute to
by heavy ion beams (space mission program) etc. “… ESFRI encourages to work closely together and to pay special attention to developing NICA as a Global Research Infrastructure concept…” ESFRI initiated a hearing of the NICA project in Brussels
