The super Pioneering High Energy Nuclear Interaction eXperiment (sPHENIX) at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) will perform high precision measurements of jets and heavy flavor observables for a wide selection nuclear collision systems, elucidating microscopic nature strongly interacting matter ranging from nucleons to coupled quark-gluon plasma. A prototype sPHENIX calorimeter system was tested Fermilab Test Beam Facility as experiment T-1044 in spring 2016. electromagnetic (EMCal)...
The first fully functional prototype of the RatCAP (Rat conscious animal PET) scanner has been constructed and preliminary evaluations have performed. is a miniature, high performance PET designed specifically to image brain rat while directly attached its head. goal eliminate need for anesthesia which can confound quantitative studies prevent simultaneous correlations neurochemistry behavior. 3D tomograph with transaxial (axial) field-of-view 38(18) mm, outside diameter 72 weight <200 g...
Small-animal PET has become a rapidly growing approach to problems in human health, from addiction cancer drug development. However, the best presently available technology (/spl sim/2 mm resolution) still significant limitations spatial resolution and sensitivity which are particularly problematic for applications attempting take advantage of powerful transgenic mouse models. Most currently proposed approaches improving face number technical obstacles force trade-offs performance. A novel...
The sPHENIX Time Projection Chamber Outer Tracker (TPOT) is a Micromegas based detector. It part of the experiment that aims to facilitate calibration Chamber, in particular correction time-averaged and beam-induced distortions electron drift. This paper describes detector mission, setup, construction, installation, commissioning performance during first year data taking.
sPHENIX is a new experiment under construction for the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory which will study quark-gluon plasma to further understanding of QCD matter and interactions. A prototype electromagnetic calorimeter (EMCal) was tested Fermilab Test Beam Facility in Spring 2018 as T-1044. The EMCal corresponds solid angle $ \Delta \eta \times \phi = 0.2 0.2$ centered pseudo-rapidity $\eta 1$. consists scintillating fibers embedded mix tungsten powder...
The PHENIX Hadron Blind Detector (HBD) is a high-performance Cherenkov counter used to detect electrons in relativistic heavy ion collisions at RHIC. A High Voltage Control and Monitoring System (HVC) was developed provide optimal control over the detector for maximal performance protection against damage from possible discharges. HVC comprises several novel hardware components including voltage divider board trip detection/protection boards each power supply module, while actual of HV...
