sPHENIX Highlights: First Results from sPHENIX at RHIC

Journal Article · · EPJ Web of Conferences (Online)
First results from the sPHENIX experiment on the π0 v2 and dET =dη in Au+Au collisions at $$\sqrt{s_{NN}}$$ = 200 GeV using detector commissioning data during the RHIC 2023 Run are presented. These results are shown across a large centrality range, and compared to previous PHENIX and STAR results. These measurements demonstrate the sPHENIX capabilities towards accomplishing the sPHENIX jet physics program. From the ongoing RHIC 2024 Run, p + p collisions at $$\sqrt{s}$$ = 200 GeV, a first glimpse of the measurements KS0 and Λ0 obtained by the sPHENIX Time Projection Chamber (TPC) detector are shown.
