sPHENIX is a new detector at RHIC.

Thanks Raghav!

Hopefully, this reads better:

sPHENIX Forward Detectors and Physics Program

sPHENIX is a newly built RHIC detector designed to study properties of the QCD matter with measurements of bulk flow, jets, and heavy quarks. To this end, sPHENIX is equipped with extended acceptance detectors— a pair of zero degree calorimeters, minimum bias and event plane detectors; as well as mid-rapidity tracking and calorimetric detectors.

sPHENIX began taking Au+Au data at 200 GeV in May 2023 primarily to commission the brand new detector. This talk will describe sPHENIX forward detectors and physics capabilities. In addition to their role in providing event characterization, these detectors in conjunction with mid rapidity detectors will be used to study soft and cold QCD physics. Finally, I will discuss the first results of these detectors using Run 2023 commissioning data.

Regards,

Ejiro

Hi Ejiro, 

Very nice abstract. Please find a few of my comments below - 

Title -

Add ‘Physics Program’

with measurements of bulk flow, jets and heavy quarks.  

To this end, sPHENIX is equipped with extended acceptance detectors— a pair of zero degree calorimeters, minimum bias detectors and event plane detectors in addition to mid-rapidity tracking and calorimetric detectors, which allows for improved event plane and triggering capabilities.

Possibly beak up the above sentence into two.

The sentence breaks are a bit funny. Id probably just add the second half of this sentence to the next sentence. 

Finally, I will discuss the first results of these detectors using Run 2023 commissioning data.

Cheers

Hi Ejiro,

Nice abstract. I wanted to let you know that Tristan was invited to give a talk on the STAR and sPHENIX EPD detectors, performance, physics capabilities and complementarity.  It would be good for the two of you to coordinate so information isn't repeated unnecessarily.

Regards,

Rosi

Dear all,

I have pasted a draft of my abstract to the body of this email. I am not quite sure if there is a single group for the content of this talk, so I am using sPHENIX-l.

Thanks in advance for your comments!
