I would like to submit the following abstract for consideration:

Title: The sPHENIX Calorimeter System

Eric J. Mannel for the sPHENIX Collaboration

 

The sPHENIX experiment is the next generation heavy-ion physics designed to do detailed studies of the properties of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Based on the BaBar 1.5T super-conducting solenoid, it is designed to make precise measurements of jets and heavy flavors in heavy ion collisions at RHIC. The detector consists of a precision central tracking system, electromagnetic and hadronic calorimetry covering a region of +/- 1.1 in pseudo-rapidity and 2p in azimuth.  A high rate data acquisition system will allow for the collection of a large sample of unbiased collisions to study the properties of the QGP. The electromagnetic calorimeter (EMCal) is a 2-D projective design consisting of scintillating fibers imbedded in a tungsten powder infused epoxy.  The hadronic calorimeter (HCal) consists of 2 components, the inner HCal located inside the solenoid and the outer HCal located outside the solenoid.  Both HCal components are 2-D projective designs with tilted absorber plates and scintillating tiles with wave-shifting fibers. Both the EMCal and HCal detectors are readout using silicon photomultipliers as the optical sensors and have a common 14-bit ADC based readout system. In this paper we will present the final design of the sPHENIX calorimeter systems, current status of the construction and physics prospects for sPHENIX.

    Dear All,
      
        Just a reminder that the CALOR 2020 conference will take place
      at the University of Sussex in the UK from May 18-22 (
      https://indico.cern.ch/event/847884/overview ). This is the main
      calorimeter conference for nuclear and particle physics and we
      should make sure sPHENIX is represented there. The deadline for
      abstract submission is March 27th.
      
      
      Cheers,
      
      Craig
