sPHENIX tracking discussion

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

Hello Dennis,

You are right. I've broadened the scope to be more inclusive of the other tracking capabilities since I don't see conflicts with other abstracts.

Title: Precision Charged Particle Tracking 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 measurements 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 and performance for reconstructing charged particles. The capabilities for bottom jet identification, upsilon reconstruction, and fragmentation function measurements in heavy ion collisions will be covered.

Hi Mike, 

Two minor suggestions from me:

* I think “those” in “complement those being made at the LHC” doesn’t really have an antecedent — presumably you mean something like “complement [jet measurements] being made at the LHC” ?

* From your last sentence, I can’t quite tell what the focus of the poster is. Do you also intend to discuss the capabilities for upsilon measurements like you mention earlier (and hadron spectra and fragmentation functions and etc.), or is the focus really on b-jet tagging specifically?

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
