Dear sPHENIX Collaborators:

I was invited by the Spin 2016 organizers to submit an abstract on fsPHENIX for the "Future Facilities and Experiments" Parallel session. Attached a first draft of an abstract - comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

The submission deadline is July 1'st.

Regards,
John Lajoie

fsPHENIX: A Detector Evolution for the Study of Nucleon Spin Structure and
Cold Nuclear Matter at RHIC

In a few short years, the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) will embark
on detailed studies of the Quark Gluon Plasma with a major new jet-optimized
detector known as sPHENIX. On the same timescale, the recent RHIC Cold QCD
plan outlines a compelling program of key measurements in spin-polarized p+p
and p+A collisions that can be realized on the road to an Electron Ion
Collider (EIC). To fully exploit the capabilities of sPHENIX and RHIC we
consider new instrumentation in the forward (proton-going) direction as an
addition to the baseline sPHENIX detector. This evolution, known as fsPHENIX,
will enable new measurements of spin asymmetries in jet production (both
inter- and intra-jet), Drell Yan, and studies of cold nuclear matter
utilizing the unique capabilities of the RHIC collider. I will give an
overview of the fsPHENIX design, its relationship to sPHENIX and a future EIC
detector, and the physics goals of the Cold QCD Plan.
