Dear Dave and Gunther, 

Thanks for sharing this great news! Congrats to the entire EMCal team for the success. This came at a perfect time.

Do we know the total weight of the sPHENIX detector so far? 

Cheers,

Subject: [Sphenix-l] Good news just in time for Thanksgiving!

 

Dear sPHENIX Collaborators,

We hope you have a really nice Thanksgiving holiday tomorrow! 

Here's some good news to start the celebration - the final sector of the EMCal was installed today at 1:30pm ET!  It's a major milestone for sPHENIX and a major testament to the hard work of all the people and institutions that built the innovative W/Sci EMCal blocks, assembled them into sectors, tested them, and then installed them.  And let's not forget all the R&D and the test beam campaigns that preceded the construction.  A big congratulations to us all.

There's a photo of the fully installed EMCal below!

Enjoy,
Dave and Gunther
