Dear sPHENIX Colleagues,
We have excellent news from the Stefan Bathe
of the OHCal group. As of yesterday we have
reached the halfway point in OHCal sector
construction. 16 of 32 sectors are assembled, tested
and have taken cosmic ray calibration data.
That is over 200 tons of detector.
Thanks to all who have made this happen especially
under the challenging reality of the pandemic.

Ed

Dear HCal friends,

I’d like to share the good news that as of tonight, 16 out fo 32 oHCal sectors have been assembled, tested, and have cosmics calibration data taken. In other words: halfway done!
This has truly been a collaborative effort with many, many people contributing, from numerous institutions. It’s been a real pleasure seeing the detector come together like this.
Way to go, oHCal, and way to go, sPHENIX!

Regards,
Stefan
