sPHENIX is a new detector at RHIC.

Dear Dennis and all,

Thanks for the helpful comments! I've updated the slides with your suggestions and attached a new version. Thanks also to Huan who pointed out that I had forgotten to mention that the EMCal blocks at Fudan/PKU/CIAE have also finished production- this has now been added. My talk is scheduled for this evening, but I'm happy to take any last-minute suggestions to the slides before then.

Best,

Virginia

Hi Virginia,

Thanks for posting this nice draft. 

I think you could give the talk basically as is with no issue, but please consider a handful comments below.

Dennis

— 

slide 4: do you want to give the final journal information rather than the arxiv preprint? 

slide 8-9: “Different kinematic range” is a bit generic - to me, the really interesting thing is pushing down to low (<20 GeV) jets, which is impossible at the LHC. these jets are now in a regime where even the early radiations in the parton shower / sub-jet pT values are close to QGP medium scales - very different from the expected “vacuum-like” evolution at early times the LHC 

slide 11: you might note that the real physics benefit of the trigger is an unbiased p+p reference and thus a true data/data RAA 

slide 11: you could consider linking to the full BUP, but perhaps not necessary

slide 12: you could reference the PRC methods paper here - https://inspirehep.net/literature/1093080 

slide 15: another big point on the plot on the left is that the response is highly similar between pp and Au+Au — the UE subtraction really makes the response in Au+Au “pp-like” just with a larger resolution

slide 16: another benefit of particle flow is that we think it will allow sub-structure measurements 

slide 24: I don’t know if you want to just add that there is a “ColdQCD” program for spin measurements?

slide 25: you could update this with the picture Ed sent around yesterday of a fully completed OHCal!

Dear collaborators,

I am giving a talk at WWND next week titled "The jet physics program with sPHENIX" and have attached my draft slides for your review. I'm happy to take any comments or suggestions on the presentation.

Thanks,

Virginia
