MVTX Detector
The MVTX, a pixel-based vertex detector, is one of three components that will work together to measure the position to determine the momentum of all charged particles emerging from RHIC’s collisions.sPHENIX is a radical makeover of the PHENIX experiment, one of the original detectors designed to collect data at Brookhaven Lab’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. It includes many new components that significantly enhance scientists’ ability to learn about quark-gluon plasma (QGP), an exotic form of nuclear matter created in RHIC’s energetic particle smashups.
