sPHENIX is a new detector at RHIC.

Hi Oliver,

Thanks for circulating your draft poster. Please consider some additional comments from me below.

The figure you show under “Introduction” is by now quite old - I think it appeared around the 2015 Town Hall / LRP process - and the particular choice of channels / kinematic ranges may well need an update. (It also lists “RHIC tomorrow” - i.e. implicitly including STAR, and not just sPHENIX.) I actually think you do not need it at all - the useful overlap with LHC experiments is demonstrated nicely by your Large-R jet RAA and jet v_2 projection plots, which are much more recent.

Under “Calorimeter jets with sPHENIX”, the default reconstruction (shown here) is just with calorimeter towers - without 3-D topoClustering. We are still developing that capability in Au+Au. You might also consider saying “EM-scale jets” rather than “uncalibrated jets”. The EM scale is a perfectly well-calibrated one, and that’s what was used in the simulations for the plots above.

For the 3-D rendering of sPHENIX, Ejiro had a nice suggestion for one of the newer ones. There are actually a few  versions in that style maintained by Dave Morrison here: https://bnlbox.sdcc.bnl.gov/index.php/s/tDHkYzzETHfaLJE - see if you like one of those 

By the way, do you want to consider adding some photos of the calorimeters themselves, either the construction or installation?

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
