sPHENIX HCal discussion

[John Haggerty <haggerty AT bnl.gov>]

Hello,

Here is an abstract for poster at QM2015.  This abstract is not meant to 
replace the many excellent posters proposed for QM, but to summarize the 
ideas behind the detector in one place.

sPHENIX: A New Experiment at RHIC
John Haggerty, for the PHENIX Collaboration

sPHENIX is a proposal for a second generation experiment at RHIC
capable of measuring jets, jet correlations and upsilons to determine
the temperature dependence of transport coefficients of the
quark-gluon plasma using electromagnetic and hadronic calorimetry and
precision tracking.  The experiment enables a program of systematic
measurements near the transition temperature at RHIC with a detector
capable of acquiring a huge sample of events in p+p and p+A collisions
from a large acceptance spectrometer.  The poster will summarize the
key measurements enabled by the new detector, progress on the
realization of the apparatus, and possibilities for future
enhancements to it.
