sPHENIX is a new detector at RHIC.

Hi Edward,
  Very nice talk and set of slides. Just a few comments:

Slide 4: I'm not sure what you mean by "Three Whales". I know our 
calorimeters are large, but they don't actually swim in the ocean, and 
their not even mammals. You really lost me on this one...

Slide 6: There is always some confusion about what we call "sectors" as 
opposed to "half-sectors" for the EMCAL, but for consistency in other 
parts of your talk, and how we've been referring to them in the various 
sPHENIX reviews, I would say we have 64 sectors, which are the physical 
units that we are building.

Slide 7: We are now officially quoting our energy resolution for the 
EMCAL as 16%/(SQRT(E) \oplus 5%. I don't think you should use the old 
number of 15%/SQRT(E) any longer, even if it's in quotations.

Slide 19: The 15%/SQRT(E) appears again here. I would just remove this 
from this slide, and maybe just say that the energy resolution is 
comparable to underlying event energy for electrons from upsilons. You 
can look at the CDR and see how we tried to get around this.

Slide 20: We can't claim that "The Calorimeters are dead space free" 
(they're certainly not...), but you can say they have "minimal dead 
space". I'd also make this summary a bulletized list just to make it 
easier to read.

Other than that, I would say again that it's a very nice talk. I hope 
the conference goes well and you can tell us about all the new 
developments when you get back.

Cheers,
Craig
