sPHENIX is a new detector at RHIC.

Hi Dennis,

Thank you very much for sending these slides around in advance of your talk. I have just a couple of short comments below:

Best Regards,

Tim

Slide 11.) The wording used here:  " (measurements of “standard candles”, early sPHENIX physics, etc.)" comes across to me as weak with regards to the impact of year one results. This talk could be a good opportunity to highlight/build anticipation for some of the anticipated year one results we discussed the other week. 

Slide 19.) Minor correction to your point on the dimensions of the "emcal blocks": The emcal towers are 0.024x0.024 (blocks are 0.048x0.048) I would modify this point to specify the tower size rather than block dimensions

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
