sPHENIX is a new detector at RHIC.

[Marzia Rosati <marziarosati AT gmail.com>]

Gunther et al.,
attached is a the upsilon efficiency vs pt for all 3 eta ranges to be 
used as the right hand side plot in figure 1.4.

I am not sure what is meant by line 124-126. "While these losses are not 
catastrophic, it is worth noting that within the sPHENIX run plan a 25% 
loss is equal to the statistics collected in one of the RHIC run periods".

As far as I understand this statement is not correct. The acceptance in 
PHENIX is about 18 times smaller than sPHENIX so we our stats are much 
smaller. STAR has a similar acceptance to sPHENIX but readout much 
slower and limited PiD so I don't think they ever collected upsilon 
samples in any beam species (pp AuAu) which are 1/4 of the expected 
sPHENIX stats.

Best regards
Marzia
