sPHENIX is a new detector at RHIC.

[Ralf Seidl <rseidl AT rcf2.rhic.bnl.gov>]

Hi John,

as always a very nice abstract. I like how you motivate it via the long 
range plan but please keep in mind that DIS is traditionally a HEP QCD 
conference with some nuclear cold-QCD extensions (low x and spin).
As such I would concentrate a little more on those aspects. At the very 
least I would suggest to exchange "pA" for "polarized p+p/A" and 
similarly for the EIC as "polarized ep and eA".

Cheers,

Ralf
