The sPHENIX detector under assembly. This image shows installation of the inner hadronic calorimeter within the core of the sPHENIX superconducting solenoid magnet.



sPHENIX is a radical makeover of the PHENIX experiment, one of the original detectors designed to collect data at Brookhaven Lab’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. It includes many new components that significantly enhance scientists’ ability to learn about quark-gluon plasma (QGP), an exotic form of nuclear matter created in RHIC’s energetic particle smashups.
