Description
The sPHENIX experiment at Brookhaven is a second-generation RHIC
experiment designed to measure jets and the upsilon states in heavy
ion collisions with a combination of calorimetry and precision
tracking. A compact tungsten-scintillating fiber electromagnetic
calorimeter and a steel-scintillator hadronic calorimeter both read
out with silicon photomultipliers are are central to the sPHENIX
physics program. The novel designs of the calorimeters, test results
from prototypes, and the physics they enable at RHIC will be
described.
