Takao Sakaguchi (for the PHENIX collaboration)
TL;DR
The paper discusses PHENIX's plans and detector upgrades for low energy runs at RHIC, aiming to measure dielectron and photon spectra down to very low energies, enhancing exploration of the sub-injection energy regime.
Contribution
It presents new detector strategies and upgrades that will enable PHENIX to explore lower energy regimes at RHIC, expanding the experimental capabilities.
Findings
Measurement of dielectron spectra down to 39 GeV
Photon and high pT hadron spectra below 10 GeV
Trigger scheme upgrade enabling exploration of sub-injection energies
Abstract
PHENIX plans for low energy running are presented. Current detector setting makes it possible to measure dielectron spectra down to sqrt(s_NN)=39GeV, and photon/high pT hadron spectra down to below sub-injection energy (sqrt(s_NN)=5-10GeV). The upgrade of the trigger scheme after the installation of VTX detector will enable PHENIX to fully explore the sub-injection energy regime, starting 2011.
