sPHENIX tracking discussion

["Frawley, Anthony" <afrawley AT fsu.edu>]

Dear Prakhar,

I made some minor edits of your abstract, see what you think:

-------------

The proposed sPHENIX detector design is focused mainly on a physics program of precise upsilon spectroscopy and jet measurements, leading to a requirement for high tracking efficiency and excellent momentum resolution. 

A time projection chamber (TPC) is proposed as the outer tracking detector for sPHENIX, which has a rapidity coverage of |y|<1.1 and full azimuthal coverage. The sPHENIX TPC design has to be optimized for operation in the high rate, high charged particle multiplicity environment that is anticipated at RHIC in 2022.

In this presentation, we show the results of R&D, and describe the ongoing efforts to optimize the design of the sPHENIX TPC.

-----------------

Cheers

Tony

Hi Prakhar,

Nice abstract. Couple of minor comments

1. Probably better to also include radial phase space coverage of TPC.

2. Although, TPC has been used by other experiments as well but we need to optimize the detector concept for the need of RHIC environment and scope. ===> I won't say optimizing detector concept for need of RHIC environment. STAR also uses TPC in RHIC environment. 

Best regards,

-Sourav

Dear All,

I'm planning to submit the following poster abstract regarding the sPHENIX TPC R&D studies.

Comments are  welcome.

Thanks with best regards,
Prakhar

Title: R&D Studies for the sPHENIX Time Projection Chamber

The upgraded sPHENIX detector design is mainly focused for the precise upsilon spectroscopy and jet measurements with high efficiency and resolution.

A time projection chamber (TPC) is proposed as one of the main tracking detector for the sPHENIX with rapidity of |y|<1.1 and full azimuth coverage.

Although, TPC has been used by other experiments as well but we need to optimize the detector concept for the need of RHIC environment and scope.

In this presentation, we show the results of R&D and the ongoing efforts to optimize the sPHENIX TPC.
