What is NICA prospects in searches for light exotics from hidden sectors: the cases of hidden photons and axion-like particles about?

We present first estimates of NICA sensitivity to Standard Model extensions with light hypothetical particles singlet under the known gauge transformations. Our analysis reveals that NICA can explore new regions in the parameter spaces of models with a hidden vector and models with an axion-like particle of masses about 30-500\,MeV. Some of these regions seem unreachable by other ongoing and approved future projects. NICA has good prospects in discovery ($5\sigma$) of the new physics after 1 year of data taking.
