sPHENIX bulk physics topical group

[Ejiro Umaka <ejironaomiumaka AT gmail.com>]

Hi,

I was invited to give a talk on sPHENIX bulk physics program at the 42nd International Symposium on Physics in Collision (PIC2023) by the Speakers Bureau. The deadline to submit the abstract is September 26. The abstract can be found below:

sPHENIX is a new collider detector at RHIC designed for pioneering studies of the Quark-Gluon Plasma with jets and heavy flavor probes. The large acceptance of the detector, including forward sub-detectors;  as well as excellent tracking and high data-taking rate also allows for the measurement of bulk phenomena such as soft particle production and collective flow.

Commissioning of sPHENIX with Au+Au collisions at 200 GeV began in May 2023. This talk will give a technical report of the status of sPHENIX sub-systems relevant for bulk physics; as well as a report on the first bulk physics measurements since commissioning.

Best regards,

Ejiro
