  The Nu­clotron up­grade – the Nu­clotron-M pro­ject, which had been start­ed in 2007, in­volved the mod­ern­iza­tion of al­most all of the ac­cel­er­a­tor sys­tems, using beam time dur­ing seven runs de­vot­ed to test­ing newly in­stalled equip­ment. Fol­low­ing the pro­ject goals, in March 2010 Xe ions were ac­cel­er­at­ed to about 1.5 GeV/u. In De­cem­ber 2010, the sta­ble and safe op­er­a­tion of the mag­net­ic sys­tem was achieved with a main field of 2 T. The suc­cess­ful com­ple­tion of the pro­ject paves the way for fur­ther de­vel­op­ment of the Nu­clotron-based Ion Col­lid­er fA­cil­i­ty (NICA).
