sPHENIX EMCal Calibrations and Reconstruction for Prompt Photon-Related Measurements

sPHENIX, which will soon start data-taking, is poised to take maximal advantage of the high statistics of the last long datasets of RHIC especially in the arena of hard scattered, prompt photon-related physics with high precision. In this talk we present techniques that have been developed for the calibrations and data reconstruction of the sPHENIX Electromagnetic Calorimeter. The methods for calibration include a variety of hardware and data-driven techniques. Additionally, selected topics related to the reconstruction and analysis of prompt photon-related physics using the sPHENIX calorimeter systems will be discussed.
