Instrumentation Division Seminar

Wednesday, April 26, 2017

 

 

 

Title:             A TPC for sPHENIX at RHIC

  

Speaker:      Thomas Hemmick, Stony Brook University

 

Time:            2:30 p.m.

 

Place:          Large Conference Room, BLDG 535B (Instrumentation Division)

 

 

The sPHENIX detector is being proposed at the Relativistic Heavy Ion
Collider to measure jets and upsilons for advancing our understanding of the
quark gluon plasma formed in heavy ion collisions. It is also expected to
form the basis of a day-1 detector for a future U.S. Electron Ion Collider.
sPHENIX is based on a superconducting solenoidal magnet formerly used by the
BaBar experiment, and of charged particle tracking, electromagnetic as well
as hadronic calorimetry. It covers a large acceptance, 2 π in azimuth and |
η | < 1 in pseudorapidities and allows to acquire data at a rate of up to 15
kHz. A Gas Electron Multiplier based Time Projection Chamber has been
proposed for tracking in a high multiplicity environment. In this talk the
current TPC design and status of ongoing R&D and simulation studies will be
presented.
