sPHENIX is a new detector at RHIC.

[David Morrison <dave AT bnl.gov>]

Dear collaborators,

We’ve been encouraged to have an sPHENIX talk at ICHEP2016 (Chicago, August 
3-10, 2016) and we’re soliciting speaker nominations (including 
self-nominations!) from the collaboration.

Please send suggested names privately to Gunther (rolandg AT MIT.EDU) and/or 
Dave (dave AT bnl.gov) by Wednesday, February 3.

Regards,
Dave
