sPHENIX is a new detector at RHIC.

    Dear All,
      I'm pleased to announce that the assembly of all of the
      sPHENIX EMCAL sectors is now complete. Sector assembly started
    more than two years ago and the last of the 64 sectors required for
    sPHENIX was completed last week. The entire EMCAL team here at BNL,
    led by L3 Manager Sean Stoll, as well the team at UIUC, led by L3
    Manager Caroline Riedl, where all the absorber blocks were produced,
    worked relentlessly throughout the pandemic to complete all the
    sectors well in time for when they will be needed for installation
    into sPHENIX later this summer. 
    
       Last Friday we gathered members of the EMCAL team here at BNL who
    have worked on building these sectors for a photo in the Physics
    High Bay where all the final assembly took place. This is truly a
    tremendous accomplishment, both for the EMCAL and the sPHENIX
    project as a whole, and we would all like to wish Sean, Caroline and
    the entire EMCAL team a well deserved congratulations for achieving
    this important milestone. 
    
    Cheers,
    Craig
