Description
sPHENIX is a large-acceptance, high-rate jet and $\Upsilon$ detector designed to study the structure of the quark-gluon plasma in heavy ion collisions at RHIC. It consists of full calorimeter over the full azimuth for $|\eta|<1.1$ with tracking and precision vertexing. These components will provide full jet reconstruction, heavy-flavor jet tagging, and $\Upsilon$ spectroscopy. We will present an overview of the sPHENIX design goals, construction, running schedule, and anticipated physics program.
