sPHENIX is a new detector at RHIC.

[Martin Purschke <purschke AT bnl.gov>]

Hi Carloine,

very nice. These are nice and polished slides already.

My main comment is about the order of things. You show sPHENIX and the
components first, and then you go through the physics we want to do with
it.

After slide 4, I would first put the slides about the physics that
actually motivate the way we built sPHENIX, why we need the resolutions
we have, etc etc. That would lead to a natural "flow" of the
presentation - "here is what we want to do, and here is how we do it".
It would also tie things together more naturally in the end where you
cycle back to the factories.

Your placeholder slide 25 will need some word-craft to avoid the
minefields with all the discussions and the EIC project's dancing around
the question of the 2nd IR... Especially for this crowd. Others will
advise, but I would merely show how we plan to convert sPHENIX into
ePHENIX, and that we are ready to answer the call, and avoid all
discussion about funding and projects and whatnot.

Hope it helps!

        Martin
