MLIT at BM@N meeting On 24 February – 2 March 2026, the Analysis and Detector Meeting of the BM@N Experiment at NICA was held in Dombay (Karachay-Cherkess Republic, Russia). The Meshcheryakov Laboratory of Information Technologies is actively participating in the BM@N experiment. MLIT specialists delivered five talks at the meeting. The meeting took place during Run 9, the ongoing data taking session of the BM@N experiment. To date, over 1.5 billion events with a total volume of more than 1 PB have been collected at collision energies of 2.2 GeV and 1.6 GeV. In the future, experimental data taking is also planned at 3 GeV. Igor Pelevanyuk, a researcher at the MLIT Distributed Systems Sector, reported on the operation of the distributed computing system during BM@N Run 9. Unlike the previous run, the data during this new run is fully processed automatically on the Tier1 and Tier2 resources of the JINR Multifunctional Information and Computing Complex. Head of the MLIT Distributed Real-Time Systems Sector Igor Alexandrov delivered a talk on the status of work being performed jointly with VBLHEP specialists on the design and development of a data quality monitoring (DQM) system for BM@N. Evgeny Alexandrov, a researcher in the MLIT Distributed Real-Time Systems Sector, presented the current state of the geometry and configuration systems and proposals for their development. The results of the work considered in the report are being carried out by a team of specialists from MLIT and VBLHEP. Head of the MLIT Sector of Methods for Solving Mathematical Physics Problems Zarif Sharipov spoke about the geometric alignment of the STS and GEM detectors of the BM@N experiment in three coordinate directions. He enlarged upon the work done on a method for finding correction parameters for the STS and GEM detectors to enhance the quality and accuracy of the signal received from the detectors. The talk by Genis Musulmanbekov, a researcher at the MLIT Department of Computational Physics, was devoted to the current status and development of DCM-QGSM-SMM models employed in the BM@N experiment for heavy ion collision simulation. The meeting focused on the reconstruction and identification of strange particles, the analysis of event topologies of Xe+Cs interactions collected during the xenon physics run of the BM@N experiment. The physics analysis of Xe-CsI interactions was reviewed. The physics program and the status of the experimental setup during the current BM@N run of data taking were discussed.
