sPHENIX tracking discussion

[Abhay Deshpande <abhay.deshpande AT stonybrook.edu>]

Hi Klaus, 

I have only a few minor suggestions. See below. 

Cheers, Abhay

sPHENIX is a detector being proposed at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider 
to measure jets and upsilons for advancing our understanding of the quark 
gluon plasma formed in heavy ion collisions. It is also expected to form the 
basis for a day-1 Detector for the future US based electron Ion Collider.  
sPHENIX is based on a superconducting solenoid magnet formerly used by the 
BaBar experiment, and will have charged particle tracking and electromagnetic 
as well as hadronic calorimetry. It covers a large acceptance (here give the 
full eta and phi range) and allows to acquire data at a rate of up to 15 kHz. 
A GEM-based Time Projection Chamber is proposed as a high resolution tracker 
in a high multiplicity environment for the sPHENIX. 
In this talk we will present the current status of ongoing R&D and simulation 
studies for tracking with a TPC.
