sPHENIX is a new detector at RHIC.

Hi, Xuan

Thank you for the prompt response, and for representing HF and MVTX groups at 
DNP. In the attachment, there is a few comments and suggestions on the draft 
abstract for your consideration. Hope you find them useful. 

Best regards,

Jin

> MVTX performance and the physics projections of b-jet and B hadron
> measurements will be presented, using the projected luminosities in
> continuous sPHENIX operations from 2022-2027 in 200 GeV $p$+$p$ and
> Au+Au collisions.  The status of the MVTX R&D will also be reported.
