sPHENIX is a new detector at RHIC.

Hi John and Ralf,

Thanks for the comments, I updated the slides at the same link. 

One clarification for Ralf about the COMPASS plot: I left it in as I was planning on verbally saying that there are only constraints for transversity up to x~0.3, and that we will be able to measure at much higher x with forward sPHENIX.

Hi Joe,

    Very nice talk. I agree with Ralf's comments on slide 10, and have a few additional comments:

slide 4 -  I would say "sPHENIX with forward instrumentation will be..."

slide 6 - you may keep in the backup the simulation studies that shows the jet source enhancement with the +/- leading hadron cuts. I'm not sure the audience will fully understand the measurement without these.

slide 7 - I like this a lot, and I think it is important to point out that STAR jets are EM-triggered and therefore have biases for this measurement that may be hard to sort out.  Having full calorimetry in the forward region is key for this.

slide 11 - Christine has a modified version of this plot in her PAC talk that I like - the additional arrows and regions make the point about the kinematic region covered very nicely in a visual way. Consider replacing this plot with Christine's version.

slide 16 - label the plots "central-forward" and "central-central" to make the difference clear at a glance

slide 20 - second bullet "SPHENIX with forward instrumentation.."; same for bullet 3.  I know it is wordy but I think it is important to distinguish between the sPHENIX baseline and sPHENIX with additional forward instrumentation.

Dear sPHENIX Colleagues,

A draft of my talk for the proton structure workshop at the RHIC Users Meeting can be found at:

Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. My talk is on Tuesday June 20, and I have a total of 30 minutes. I plan to talk for 20-25 minutes leaving some time for questions and discussion.

Thanks,

Joe Osborn
