Description
sPHENIX is a proposal for a new experiment at RHIC capable of measuring
jets, jet correlations and upsilons to determine the temperature
dependence of transport coefficients of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP).
The sPHENIX detector will acquire a large sample of events with a high
rate data acquisition system from a large acceptance spectrometer with
full hadronic and electromagnetic calorimetry and precision tracking. A
program of systematic measurements near the QGP transition temperature
at RHIC will complement existing and planned measurements being made as
part of the LHC heavy-ion program. The talk will describe the proposed
new detector and some of the key measurements enabled by it.
