Description

sPHENIX is a new collider detector at RHIC designed for pioneering studies of the Quark-Gluon Plasma with jets and heavy flavor probes. The large acceptance of the detector, including forward sub-detectors; as well as excellent tracking and high data-taking rate also allows for the measurement of bulk phenomena such as soft particle production and collective flow. Commissioning of sPHENIX with Au+Au collisions at 200 GeV began in May 2023. This talk will give a technical report of the status of sPHENIX sub-systems relevant for bulk physics; as well as a report on the first bulk physics measurements since commissioning.
