sPHENIX tracking discussion

[Klaus Dehmelt <klaus.dehmelt AT stonybrook.edu>]

Thanks all for your suggestion.

I have modified the abstract text and I would like to submit the following text by tonight if I do not get any other modification requests.

A TPC for sPHENIX at RHIC

-----

The sPHENIX detector is 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 of a day-1 detector for a future U.S. Electron Ion Collider.

sPHENIX is based on a superconducting solenoidal magnet formerly used by the BaBar experiment, and of charged particle tracking, electromagnetic as well as hadronic calorimetry. It covers a large acceptance, 2$\pi$ in azimuth and pseudorapidities of $|\eta| < $ 1, and allows to acquire data at a rate of up to 15 kHz.

Furthermore, a Gas Electron Multiplier based Time Projection Chamber has been proposed to improve tracking resolution in a high multiplicity environment.

In this talk we will present the current design and status of ongoing R&D and simulation studies for tracking with a TPC.

Cheers,

Klaus

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.
