Description
Quarkonia measurements in heavy-ion collisions are important for understanding both initial-state effects on heavy-quark production and final-state interactions between heavy quarks and the hot and dense nuclear matter created in high-energy heavy-ion collisions.
The sPHENIX experiment at RHIC will begin its commissioning and first Au+Au data-taking run in 2023, and plans to measure the production of $\Upsilon$'s and high pT J/$\psi$'s in the di-electron channel in this dataset as well as in future p+p, p+Au and Au+Au running. The status of the relevant detectors and their performance for di-electron measurements will be presented and compared to what is expected from a Monte Carlo simulations. Analysis prospects and future plans will also be discussed.
