sPHENIX is a new detector at RHIC.

Hi Oliver,

Nice poster. I have few comments. Please see below:

In the top right plot titled Calibration of the outer oHCAL with cosmic muons. I would change the wording a bit, because this is not finalized, it was a step to see if the cosmic muon simulation generates a shape similar to the data. Also the set up was with the entire oHCAL. I assume the finalized calibration should involve a tower by tower calibration. 

A small cosmetic change will be useful for the plot right below showing a correlation between the outer and inner hcal. The distance of the x-axis title to the x-axis is not the same distance as in the y-axis. Although the appropriate persons have been notified, I leave this here since there was another presentation from sPHENIX with the same plot at the same conference. 

For the sPHENIX detector, are you against using the one here: https://www.sphenix.bnl.gov  

This way there is no need for the text stating that the sEPD and MBD are not depicted.

Right below the sPHENIX detector, I believe we agreed that simulations should be named sPHENIX simulation not sPHENIX G4 Sim.

Following up on these plots, is there a need to state that the underlying event subtraction does not include flow? Does the audience care? I also have trouble reconciling showing the centrality dependence in the jet energy scale at low pT- is the point to say we don't have our UE subtraction under control in this range?

In the jet physics predictions section what does the audience gain by stating: most theoretical models have not been able to simultaneously describe the RAA and v2? Can you make your point clearer?

Lastly, in the R-dependence of the RAA, it might be useful to change the wording from sPHENIX can make an accurate measurement in this region to something like sPHENIX measurement will cover this kinematic region and help to reduce the tension between the ALICE and ATLAS measurements. I think using "accurate", while I'm confident with what will be done at sPHENIX, the statement may appear too strong and may imply that the other LHC measurements might be inaccurate. 

Best regards,

Ejiro

Dear Colleagues,

I will bring a poster to the Initial Stages 2023 conference (June
19-23).
I attached the draft version of the poster to this mail.
Let me know if you have any comments by June 14, so I will have time to
print the final poster.

Best regards,
Oliver
