Description

sPHENIX is a new experiment on the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Its goal is to complete the scientific mission of RHIC in the study of the quark-gluon plasma and cold QCD effects.
The detector is designed to provide precision vertexing, tracking and electromagnetic and hadronic calorimetry in the central pseudorapidity region |η| < 1.1, with full azimuth coverage. It was commissioned in 2023 with Au-Au collisions and is currently taking physics data with transversely polarized proton+proton collisions at the center-of-mass energy of 200 GeV. The cold QCD program of sPHENIX will be discussed.
