Dear colleagues,

While neither of these abstracts was submitted on behalf of the sPHENIX Collaboration, as they are related to sPHENIX Cold QCD TG activities I wanted to make you aware of them.

Title: Design Studies for an EIC Detector Based on the sPHENIX Solenoid

Abstract:

In 2018, an EIC Detector Design Study Group was formed to start considering in detail how an EIC detector could be built around the sPHENIX solenoid, formerly used by the BaBar experiment. A series of studies examining the design and physics performance for select options of calorimetry, tracking, and particle identification covering -4 to +4 in pseudorapidity has already been performed, and further studies are ongoing. The design ideas that have been explored so far will be presented, and the many opportunities for further contributions will be described.

Title: A generic software adapted for EIC simulation and reconstruction

Abstract:

A generic software suite for simulation and reconstruction has been developed to facilitate EIC prototype detector R&D, physics studies and full detector designs. At its core, it is based on Fun4All, a compact and versatile software framework. It has been used in the PHENIX experiment to process tens of petabytes of data each year at BNL, and has been continually developed by the sPHENIX collaboration and adopted by the Fermilab E1039 collaboration. Many packages are integrated into this framework, including event generators, the Geant4 toolkit, detector models, reconstruction and analysis packages. It also provides a simple interface to integrate new simulation and reconstruction modules. It is fully open source and supported with daily build and validations. A standalone container is available for download at https://github.com/sPHENIX-Collaboration/singularity. In this talk, we will discuss this software suite and share its user experience, from learning simulation to large scale computing.
