Description

The forward calorimeter upgrade to the PHENIX forward spectrometers aims to add capabilities at high rapidity (0.9<η<3.0) in order to significantly extend the kinematic reach of PHENIX's ΔG measurement for the prompt photon and photon-jet channels, study transverse spin physics through forward hadron asymmetries, study nucleon structure in nuclei at high parton densities in p+A collisions through the measurement of photons and neutral pions in the forward region, and enhance our quark and anti-quark spin measurements via W-production by providing an isolation cut and possibly providing an electron measurement at forward rapidities.
