sPHENIX HCal discussion

[David Morrison <dave AT bnl.gov>]

Hi John,

Your proceedings are in pretty good shape.  I have a couple of comments.

abstract: in talking about the calorimeters, you say they enable an 
"extremely rich jet physics program”, but a big part of that depends on 
having tracking too.  Since you do mention the tracking in the body of your 
proceedings, I think you should follow suit in the abstract too.  Maybe, “… 
minimal bias jet trigger capability, which coupled with high resolution 
tracking, enables an extremely rich …”, or similar.

introduction:  I think some of your dates are a bit suspect.  I’d suggest 
“RHIC data taking to date has produced …” and “… since the RHIC experiments 
were first proposed, while reusing …”.

physics program: I’d say “… plasma temperature through the differential 
melting …” since it emphasizes that we’ll can distinguish the separate 
Upsilon states.  The sentence “Techniques developed by the ATLAS experiment 
…” might give the impression that the iterative subtraction technique is the 
only one that works at RHIC.  Not sure I have a good suggestion for 
rewording, and I guess it’s OK to leave it.

pg. 3 typo, “… like those show in …” should be “… like those shown in …”.

With these few changes, you’re approved to submit the proceedings.

Dave
