Group ProjectsIn summer 2005,
the PHOBOS detectorwas removed from RHIC tunnel
In 2003, BNL PHOBOS Groupofficially joined the VTX upgrade
for PHENIX
In 2005, BNL PHOBOS Groupbegan involvement with ATLAS heavy ion group
FY06 Activities
PROPOSALfor a Nosecone Calorimeter (NCC)
for the PHENIX Experiment
Brookhaven National Laboratory
Relativistic Heavy Ion Collidier
March, 2006
Spokesperson: William A. Zajc,Columbia University
Deputy Spokesperson: Yasuyuki Akiba,RIKEN
Deputy Spokesperson: Matthias Grosse-Perdekamp,University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
Operations Manager: Edward J. O’Brien,Brookhaven National Laboratory
Upgrades Manager: Axel Drees,Stony Brook University
PHOBOS is nowan analysisexperiment
(BNL group stillresponsible for
decommissioning)
ATLAS HI isnow ramping up
rapidly as a physics group
PHENIX involvement hasexpanded to both
VTX and NCC upgrades
FY06 Activities•BNL PHOBOS group is a set of
strong individual workers• Group activities organized to maximize impact
on PHOBOS, PHENIX & ATLAS
• Will present individual progress
•Major contributors to all projects• Experiments (VTX, NCC)
• Physics Research (PHOBOS, ATLAS)
•Noucier & Pak will present their work in next two talks
