sPHENIX discussion of physics

[Gunther M Roland <rolandg AT mit.edu>]

Friends,

We have received encouragement from many members of the collaboration to 
establish another topical group, tentatively labeled “Cold QCD”, to give 
those interested in forward physics, spin physics, using sPHENIX as basis for 
an EIC detector and related topics a more formal representation in the 
collaboration. While the physics thrust would not be quite as focussed as in 
the other three topical groups, we foresee that the interaction of this 
topical group with the collaboration would mirror the other groups. That 
would include participation open to all collaboration members, regular 
meetings and reports at our general and collaboration meetings, and selection 
of conveners to provide organizational support.

Please let us know if you have any further suggestions - we are hoping to 
move forward with an official call for convener nominations at this Friday’s 
General Meeting.

Cheers,

Gunther and Dave
