N2 - In order to study the properties of dense baryonic matter, an accelerator complex is under development at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (Dubna, Russia) within the new NICA project. The NICA project assumes the use of accelerated ion beams ranging from protons to gold ions with relativistic energies up to 4.5 GeV/nucleon. To design experiments, it is necessary to have information on the efficiency of the yield of bare gold nuclei formed at the passage of a gold ion beam with energies of about several hundreds of MeV per nucleon through a foil of a specialized stripping station at the output of the booster of the accelerator. In this work, the optimal conditions (material and thickness of the foil and the energy of the ion) for the formation of fractions of bare gold nuclei with a probability of 80–90% have been determined by calculating electron loss and capture cross sections, as well as the dynamics of charge states of gold ions colliding with copper and gold foils at energies of 400 and 600 MeV/nucleon.
