The sPHENIX Experiment at RHIC

The proposed sPHENIX experiment at RHIC will make high statistics measurements of jets, jet correlations, and upsilon states in heavy ion collisions in the early 2020's. High resolution tracking coupled with uniform electromagnetic and hadronic calorimetry will be used to characterize the temperature dependence of transport coefficients of the quark-gluon plasma. Progress on the design of the detector, test results of prototypes, and expectations from full detector simulation which demonstrate the capabilities of the experiment will be presented.
