sPHENIX tracking discussion

["Michael P. McCumber" <mccumber AT bnl.gov>]

Hello all,

I'd like to submit the linked abstract on tracking and b-jets in sPHENIX. The draft is in CVS at: offline/papers/QM15_poster_abstracts/QM15poster_mccumber.tex

Title: Tracking and B-jet Identification with sPHENIX

Abstract: The PHENIX collaboration is pursuing a series of aggressive upgrades aimed at excellent jet reconstruction capabilities to make use of the enhanced luminosity at RHIC, complement those being made at the LHC, and shed new light on the microscopic structure of the quark-gluon plasma. With a new detector, sPHENIX, offering large coverage electromagnetic and hadronic calorimetry and precision charged particle tracking, we will be well positioned to provide a broad and exciting program of jet probe and upsilon measurements.

This poster will present the role that a precision charged particle tracking and vertex detector will play in the sPHENIX program. Details will be given on the tracking design, performance for reconstructing charged particles, and the capabilities for bottom jet identification in heavy ion collisions.
