Description
sPHENIX is a proposal for a second generation experiment at RHIC
capable of measuring jets, jet correlations and upsilons to determine
the temperature dependence of transport coefficients of the
quark-gluon plasma using electromagnetic and hadronic calorimetry and
precision tracking. The experiment enables a program of systematic
measurements near the transition temperature at RHIC with a detector
capable of acquiring a huge sample of events in p+p, p+A, and A+A collisions
from a large acceptance spectrometer. The poster will summarize the
key measurements enabled by the new detector, progress on the
realization of the apparatus, and possibilities for future
enhancements to it.
