sPHENIX is a new detector at RHIC.

["Li, Xuan" <xuanli AT lanl.gov>]

Dear Jin,
         Thanks for your quick modifications on this abstract. Initially I 
was thinking to present the progresses and updates on the MVTX detector. Is 
there anyone else from the Heavy Flavor topic group will participant the 
DNP2017 conference? If not, it is good to cover progresses from both the HF 
and MVTX groups. I will keep your modified abstract draft until there iare  
any further suggestions or comments from other collaborators.
         Thanks.
                                                                              
            Xuan

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
