sPHENIX is a new detector at RHIC.

I was invited to give a talk at QNP2022. Comments on the abstract are highly appreciated.

Title: Jet Physics in sPHENIX

The sPHENIX detector at RHIC is currently under construction and is on schedule for first data in early 2023. At mid-rapidity it consists of a silicon pixel vertexer, a silicon strip detector with single event timing resolution and a compact TPC; as well as an EM calorimeter and a 1.4T BaBar superconducting solenoid sandwiched between an inner and outer hadronic calorimeter. 

sPHENIX will allow for state-of-the-art measurements of jets, jet substructure, jet correlations, and heavy flavor jets with kinematic reach overlapping measurements at the LHC due to its acceptance and hybrid streaming/triggered readout that enables full exploitation of the luminosity provided by RHIC.  

The talk will discuss sPHENIX readiness for operations, projections of key jet measurements, and the scientific impact of the measurements. 

Thanks,
