sPHENIX is a new detector at RHIC.

I would like to submit the following poster abstract on the Calorimeter electronics:

“A Common Readout System for the sPHENIX Electromagnetic and Hadronic Calorimeters.”

 

E.J. Mannel for the sPHENIX collaboration.

 

sPHENIX is the next generation  detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) designed to explore the properties of the quark-gluon plasma through measurements of the jet properties.  The detector consists of a 1.5T superconducting solenoid, tracking, electromagnetic and hardronic calorimeter with a high speed data acquisition system.  The calorimeters use a common readout  design based on Silicon Photo-Multipleis (SiPMs) as the optical sensors with the continuous digitization of the analog signals.  We will present the design requirements and technology choices, along with preliminary performance results from prototype testing at the Fermilab Test Beam Facility as part of experiment T-1044.
