PHENIX in Today
In the early days …• Not a story of “in the good old days ….”
– 9 or so proposals altogether in 1991, among them TALES, SPARC, OASIS and DIMUON were forced to merge.
– STAR was pre-selected!
• PHENIX vs STAR
– Combination of several proposals
– Funding problems, de-scoped, only one muon arm
– A hard time to bring all subsystem together
– Could fall into crapes

LANL made the difference• Brought in Japanese/RIKEN $$ to RHIC/PHENIX-

STAR WAR?
BNL-RIKEN Agreement
• Signing of the BNL-RIKEN Agreement on Spin Physics, September 25, 1995 at BNL– With $20M From Japanese Lab, RHIC Ventures
Into Spin Physics• Half of the money that RIKEN
brings to the collaboration will be used to build and install the Siberian snakes, spin rotators and other hardware needed to collide spin-polarized protons in RHIC.
• The other $10 million will buy an additional detector system for PHENIX, one of the two large detectors now under construction for RHIC, which will allow this experiment to do spin physics.
Origins of the Los Alamos Involvement in the PHENIX detector Program (from JJM, DOE/NP Review, 96)
• Circa 1990: two groups with interest in RHIC – Fermilab E722/E789 and CERN NA44– [SPIN Puzzle ~1988, EMC]
• Spring 1990: Decision made that P-Division would enter the RHIC program in a major way and focus its efforts on one experiment. Major players - Barbra Jacak, Mike Leitch, Pat McGaughey, Joel Moss. High Q^2 physics
• 1991-1993: PHENIX collaboration evolves. – Keep P-Division Physics agenda part of the detector: major roles played by Barbra Jacak and
Pat McGaughey. – Save muon arms from total oblivision: major role played by Pat McGaughey (acting DC head)– MVD becomes LANL responsibility (Barbra Jacak, DC head)
• 1993-95: Los Alamos collaboration on spin physics at RHIC. Secured instrumentation for the north muon arm and added new (south) muon system. Major role played by Wayne Kinnison, John McClelland and Joel Moss.
NOTE: Without Los Alamos efforts there would be NO muon subsystem in PHENIX and probably no phenix-spin program

Physics @LANL• Nucleon structure
– Understanding the structure of nucleon in terms of quark and gluon constituents of QCD is one the outstanding fundamental questions in physics.
• LANL experience, expertise & interests – E772/789/886: dimuons– sea quark flavor asymmetry– Gluon shadowing– Spin structure function– QCD dynamics– New physics– DY,J/Psi, heavy quarks etc
LANL Effort in PHENIX
• Contributed 3 major subsystems– Muon arms: simply the largest – MVD: the smallest in size but the largest in channel
numbers
• Muon software– On-line– Off-line
• First Year Muon Physics– J/Psi from p+p and Au+Au (QM2002)– Heavy quark physics w/ single and dimuons, in progress
• MVD and SVX upgrade for PHENIX – Mike and Gerd’s talks
PHENIX Muon Arms
• Muon Arms – Tracking+MuID– 1.2 < || < 2.4 =2– p 2GeV/c
• Drell-Yan• Heavy Quarks• W,Z• Critical for Spin

• This is the time to shift from construction to physics study; • our 10 years construction effort should be paid off with
strong physics results
History of PHENIX and LANL involvement
• Why do I want to talk about this?– Our commitment made 10 years ago
– Major role played by LANL in construction and physics ideas
• LANL played a major role in bringing PHENIX and SPIN program into life– Key players : Joel, Pat, John, Barbra, Mike, Wayne, etc.
• Bottom line - we started the program and we want to finish it with good physics results
