sPHENIX is a new detector at RHIC.

[John Haggerty <haggerty AT bnl.gov>]

Abhisek, Jin, Megan, Virginia, Ron, and Vera,

Thank *you* for bringing this paper to completion.  These beam tests 
have demonstrated the breadth and width of expertise this collaboration 
brings to designing and building the apparatus we'll need for sPHENIX, 
from simulation and analysis to mechanical and electrical engineering, 
from rigging steel plates into place to measuring the properties of the 
beam.  But you have taken the last important step, which is to 
thoroughly and accurately prepare our results for publication so that 
detector designers of the future can benefit from all we have learned.

Thanks again... it's been a pleasure.
