Description
sPHENIX is a new collider detector at RHIC designed for pioneering studies of the Quark-Gluon Plasma with high-p$_T$ jet and heavy flavor probes. The jet physics program particularly relies on the sPHENIX calorimeter system, which consists of large-acceptance, hermetic electromagnetic and hadronic sections designed for high-resolution measurements of photons, electrons, hadrons, and jets. sPHENIX will begin commissioning with Au+Au collisions at 200 GeV in Spring 2023, with a large expected luminosity for measurements of jet production, structure, and correlations from the first year of data-taking. This talk will first give a technical report of the sPHENIX sub-systems relevant for jet physics and then present the status of the first physics measurements.
