Time-Projection Chamber for the MPD NICA project

The Time-Projection Chamber (TPC) is the main device for tracking and identification of charged particles in the MPD experiment at the NICA collider. The article presents the design consideration of this detector for registration of central Au-Au collisions at energies up to 11 Gev/c and NICA event rate of 5 kHz. The status of the TPC construction and features of its main parts (field cage, read-out chambers, front end electronics, gas and cooling systems, laser-calibration) are described.
