Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The existence of dibaryons, the systems with baryon number two, is one of the central questions in modern nuclear physics. It is closely connected with the problem of phase transitions in nuclear matter, various manifestations of which are being searched for in the experiments with colliding heavy nuclei. Since the theory of these processes is very difficult, the interpretation of such data usually contains large uncertainties. At the same time there is a possibility of understanding some features of these processes in the collision of the lightest nuclei–deuterons. Exploring such an opportunity at the future NICA SPD is the focus of this paper. It is shown that while using Kinematical fit technique at the simulation of the process $$d+d\rightarrow d+X$$ below meson production threshold, the accuracy of the estimation of the $$X$$ mass is on the level 2–3 MeV/ $$c$$ when the deuteron moment of the NICA Collider is equal to 2.6 GeV/c (below $$MX$$ is used as a mass of $$X$$ , i.e. $$MX=M_{d}+E_{\textrm{exc}}$$ , where $$M_{d}$$ , $$E_{\textrm{exc}}$$ are deuteron mass and excitation energy). The system $$X$$ is called sometimes as dibaryons below.
