Measurement of <i>dE</i> <sub> <i>T</i> </sub> / <i>dη</i> in Au+Au collisions at 200 GeV with sPHENIX at RHIC
We report the first measurement of transverse energy ( dE T / d η ) in Au + Au collisions at 200 GeV using the sPHENIX detector at RHIC. dE T / d η measurement provides key insights into quark-gluon plasma (QGP) formation and is one of the standard candles. The sPHENIX calorimeter system enables precise energy measurements, with detector response corrected using Monte Carlo simulations. Results show a strong centrality dependence, consistent with prior PHENIX and STAR data within uncertainties.
