Dear Jin,

Thank you for your suggestions during these busy days. I will take all your comments and wait for further feedback from the Collaboration. 

Sincerely,

Dear Zhaozhong

 

Thanks for drafting the abstract. Few edits suggestion as highlighted in bold.

 

 

Title: Heavy flavor physics at the sPHENIX experiment

 

Abstract: The sPHENIX experiment is a state-of-the-art jet and heavy flavor physics detector currently taking its first Au + Au collision data at 200 GeV at RHIC. sPHENIX will provide heavy flavor physics measurements covering an unexplored kinematic region and unprecedented precision at RHIC to explore the parton energy loss mechanism, parton transport coefficients in quark-gluon plasma, and the hadronization process under various medium conditions. At the center of sPHENIX, the Monolithic-Active-Pixel-Sensor (MAPS) based VerTeX detector (MVTX) is a high-precision silicon pixel detector. The MVTX provides excellent position resolution and the capability of operating in continuous streaming readout mode, allowing precise vertex determination, and recording a large data sample, both of which are particularly crucial for heavy flavor physics measurements. In this talk, we will show the general performance of heavy-flavor hadron reconstruction. In addition, we will discuss the commissioning experience with sPHENIX. Finally, we will provide the projection of b-hadron and jet observables and discuss the estimated constraints on theoretical models. 

 

Cheers,

 

Jin

Dear all,

 

I am invited by organizers of the 52nd edition of the International Symposium on Multiparticle Dynamics Conference (ISMD 2023) to contribute an abstract. The conference website is shown in the link below:

 

https://indico.cern.ch/event/1258038/

 

I plan to submit an sPHENIX talk under the topic: Hadronic final states in high pT interactions. The title and the abstract are shown as follows:

Finally, we will provide the projection of b-hadron v2 and RAA and discuss the estimated constraints on theoretical models.

 

 

The deadline for the abstract submission is on June 30. Any comments or suggestions are welcome. I plan to present my talk virtually. If you have any question or need any additional information, please feel free to contact me. Thank you very much!

 

Sincerely,
