Description
The PHENIX collaboration is planning a major detector upgrade,
sPHENIX, consisting of large acceptance calorimetry and precision
tracking in conjunction with the recently acquired BaBar 1.5~T
superconducting solenoid. The sPHENIX calorimeter system consists of
an inner layer of tungsten-scintillating fiber electromagnetic
calorimeter surrounded by two layers of sampling hadronic
calorimeters made of scintillator tiles and metal plates. The
calorimeters provide full azimuthal coverage for $|\eta|<1$ for
calorimetry-based jet measurements and low bias jet triggering,
enabling a very rich jet physics program at RHIC. We present the
current state of the sPHENIX calorimeter design along with studies
of their expected performance for jet measurements.
