sPHENIX is a new detector at RHIC.

["Perepelitsa, Dennis" <dvp AT bnl.gov>]

Dear sPHENIX colleagues,

Please find a draft of my 20”+5” parallel talk at the QNP conference posted here: https://indico.bnl.gov/event/16963/ 

Note that we will have detailed talks on heavy flavor and jet physics by Zhaozhong and Ejiro, respectively, at the QGP conference. Thus, I try to give a broader overview of the physics context and detector status, and spend comparatively less time on specific physics projections.

Regrettably, the talk is tomorrow (Wednesday), 7 September at 1:20pm U.S. Eastern time. 

I apologize for the very short notice - in general, I strongly agree with the point raised by Marzia and the SB in the last GM on the need for a long lead-time to allow a proper review, and I will make a point to better follow this rule in the future.

I’m happy for any comments before the talk, 

Dennis
