Description
The PHENIX Collaboration is designing a new detector configuration (sPHENIX) to
continue the studies of the recent discoveries at RHIC. The new detector will be
based on a strong solenoid magnet with full azimuthal calorimetry and tracking
coverage as well as displaced-vertex measurement capabilities. A new landmark
of sQGP interaction, color screening and initial state effect studies can be
explored at RHIC with measurements like heavy flavor tagged jets, hadron(gamma)-heavy
flavor correlation and identification of different quarkonia states in
p+p, p+A and A+A collisions. This presentation will detail the conceptual design,
the staging and the physics which can be addressed in this concept.
