sPHENIX HCal discussion

[John Haggerty <haggerty AT bnl.gov>]

Vera,

That's a good idea to submit such an abstract and it looks good.

A couple of suggestions:

- I think element names are not capitalized when used in text, so it's 
tungsten powder, not Tungsten powder

- I would omit the 2.3 cm Moliere radius and just waffle something about 
the segmentation being consistent with the shower size.

- Also, you should probably rephrase "resolution high enough" because of 
verbal confusion of "high resolution" with big number over square root 
of E, but if you can't think of better wording, that's ok.
