sPHENIX is a new detector at RHIC.

[David Morrison <dave AT bnl.gov>]

Dear Collaborators,

Last week, I received a very kind invitation to speak about “Detector 
upgrades at BNL-RHIC" (30+15 min discussion) including especially 
preparations for sPHENIX in one of the plenary sessions from the organizers 
of the Lorentz Workshop “Tomography of the quark-gluon plasma with heavy 
quarks” which will take place in Leiden, the Netherlands, from 10-14 October 
2016.  I had to decline due to the short notice (those at US Nat’l Labs will 
be familiar with this).  I did ask whether they would be open to an alternate 
speaker from the sPHENIX Collaboration – and they are.  

As you can see, the time is very short and the topic is not just sPHENIX 
(though one could emphasize sPHENIX).  If anyone is interested – maybe they 
have the flexibility to make short lead time travel plans, or maybe they’re 
already in Europe – let me know by noon ET tomorrow (Thursday, September 29). 
 

Cheers,
Dave
