sPHENIX HCal discussion

Hi HCalers,

Sorry for the late post. Please find my poster abstract for QM 2019
below. Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Title: Beam Test Results of the sPHENIX HCal Prototype

sPHENIX is a planned upgrade at RHIC designed to quantify the
properties of quark-gluon plasma created in relativistic heavy ions
collisions with particular focuses on the measurements of jets and
upsilon states. A crucial component to the sPHENIX detector design for
jet measurements is the hadronic calorimeter (HCal) which is located
outside of the solenoid magnet and composed of alternating layers of
tapered steel plates and scintillator tiles.

sPHENIX has performed four tests of the HCal prototypes at Fermilab
since 2015 and the final design of the EMCal and HCal, with $\eta
\sim$ 1, was tested at the Fermilab Test Beam Facility as experiment
T-1044 in the spring of 2018.
This poster will present the results of 2018 HCal prototype beam test,
the results of sPHENIX-like calorimeter system and corresponding
GEANT4 simulations. The energy linearity and resolution of pions and
electrons will also be presented in this poster.
