sPHENIX bulk physics topical group

[pinkenburg <pinkenburg AT bnl.gov>]

Hi Ejiro,

I think you should mention calorimetry in the abstract (the hcal at 
midrapidity is a first at RHIC) and I would tread a bit lightly with the 
forward detectors. If I read forward detectors I would expect something 
like the PHENIX muon arms or the STAR forward upgrade, not a comparably 
simple reaction plane detector or trigger detectors.

I wonder if it would be possible to play to the strength of sPHENIX. 
Soft particle production and flow has been measured at RHIC (by 
detectors which have better PID) - isn't there something where we can 
make use of the hcals or our high statistics?

Regards,
Chris
