sPHENIX is a new detector at RHIC.

Hi Rosi,

Looks like a great talk, and it has a great balance of interesting physics and lots of fun and motivating photographs!  A few small comments.

Cheers,

Ron

Slide 3 - “fluctuations” is true but vague, so just be careful here—in fact I think the sEPD really helps with almost all of them but it’s difficult to summarize succinctly… It might be helpful to mentally focus on just a few… 

Slide 5 - 145B / 240 B - would be good to explicitly distinguish the two different scenarios

Slide 8/9 - you hit all the right points here but the figures seem reversed from the points—you show the deviation of psi2 from psiRP on slide 8 but describe it in words on slide 9 (this is fine if intentional)

Slide 11-26 - there’s tons of great sEPD picture and simulations, and it all looks really great!

Slide 28 - the PHENIX paper is now published https://journals.aps.org/prc/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevC.105.024901 

Slide 29 - that acceptance cartoon a minor mistake (my fault) where the midrapidity acceptance isn’t scaled correctly, for the corrected version see e.g. slide 33 of https://www.phenix.bnl.gov/~belmonrj/talks/bnl21.pdf - not a huge deal to me but some STAR folks complained about it (which is why I made the corrected version)

Hi sPHENIX,

Sorry for the late response, but attached are my slides for my talk tomorrow (Thursday).  I will be tweaking language/colors but would appreciate any comments on content, etc.

Cheers,

Rosi
