sPHENIX is a new detector at RHIC.

[Erin Bossard <Erin.Bossard AT colorado.edu>]

Hello everyone,

My name is Erin Bossard and I'm an undergraduate student at CU Boulder working with Dennis Perepelitsa and Jamie Nagle. I would like to submit the following abstract for the poster session at the coming DNP 2017 conference about trigger efficiencies and rejection factors for photons, upsilons, hadrons, and jets. My abstract is below and I would appreciate any feedback.

==========================================

Online Trigger Simulations for the sPHENIX Detector

sPHENIX is a new detector being built to succeed the previous PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). sPHENIX is designed to measure jets and upsilons with high precision to further our understanding of the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP). sPHENIX will take data from a variety of collision systems including $p$+$p$, $p$+Au, and Au+Au at $\sqrt{s}$ = 200 GeV. To successfully collect a large sample of data in $p$+$p$ collisions, the capability of an online trigger to select rare events of interest must be understood. In this study, GEANT4 simulations of the detector were used to calculate the efficiency and rejection power of photon, hadron, upsilon, and jet triggers. 

===========================================

Sincerely,

Erin Bossard

Friends,

If anyone is going to the DNP meeting this fall, and would like to give an sPHENIX related talk, please let us know asap (abstract deadline is 6/30). John has provided a draft for a broad sPHENIX abstract, but there is plenty of room for more contributions. In particular a talk related to tracker design and HF related capabilities would be valuable.

Best,

Gunther and Dave
