sPHENIX is a new detector at RHIC.

Hi John,
  Very nice talk. The only thing you might think about is adding a bit 
more our requirements for the calorimeters to meet our physics 
objectives and that we've shown that they will meet those requirements. 
For example, on slide 13, you show the plot for the EMCAL resolution but 
nobody will be able to read it. You may want to list separately the 
energy resolution we measured in the test beam (13.3%/SQRT(E) + 3.5%) 
and compare that to our spec of 16%/SQRT(E). I see you also point to the 
pion rejection on slide 5 but you may want to list the requirement there 
as well. You could also do the same thing for the HCAL, or maybe list 
all the specs at the beginning of your talk and then show the test beam 
measurements later.
  I would also agree with Martin that you should mention that we plan 
to evolve sPHENIX into an eRHIC detector and say that by the time that 
comes around there will be a working detector and collaboration to go 
with it to do some of the first physics at EIC. I think the DPF meeting 
would be a good place to spread the word that that's our plan.

Cheers,
Craig
