sPHENIX EMCal discussion

["Bailey, Virginia Ruth" <vbailey2 AT illinois.edu>]

Hi Eric,

Thank you for the feedback.  I have updated the abstract according to your suggestions.

The sPHENIX detector is a proposed new detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC).   The sPHENIX detector will measure properties of quark gluon plasma (QGP) through the study of jets and hard probes. The electromagnetic calorimeter (EMCal) consists of tungsten powder and epoxy blocks with embedded scintillating fibers.  It is designed to have a small Molière radius and be compact with a large radiation length. A prototype EMCal consisting of an 8 by 8 array of towers was tested at the Fermilab Test Beam Facility in April 2016.  This poster will present the design and performance of the prototype EMCal and future plans.

Are there any other comments?

Best,

Virginia

Virginia-

Looks good and I am glad to see you submitting an abstract.  Couple of comments: Where you talk about the design, I think you want to say something along the lines of being "compact with a large radiation length", not short radiation length . In the second to last sentence you might want to expand Fermilab to "the Fermilab Test Beam Facility".   IN the last sentence, think about rewording it to say something along the lines of "present the design and performance of the prototype sPHENIX  EMCal...."\

Hello all,

I would like to submit the following abstract for a poster about the EMCal test beam analysis to Quark Matter 2017.  Comments and suggestions are appreciated.
