4 ¨ PHENIX: Versatile Trigger + Large Bandwidth Large bandwidth and trigger capabilities are critical to fully benefit from measurements in multiple channels for example for the best possible constraint on ∫ΔG(x) dx!  Independent experimental and theoretical uncertainties.  Best statistical precision for results on spin dependent nucleon distribution functions.  Final results will come from inclusive NLO pQCD analysis of the asymmetries from all experimental channels.  Evaluation of impact of multiple observables on the knowledge of e.g. ∫ΔG(x)dx is not available and would be very difficult to obtain. PHENIX Detector Upgrades November 20 th  inclusive hadrons, di-hadrons  inclusive photons  jet + photon  open heavy flavor Critical: large PHENIX DAQ bandwidth ~ 8kHz for highest possible rates in multiple channels (including at low p T !). Can DAQ digest data volume from upgrades & luminosity increases?

5 ¨ A LL (c,b) Projections with VTX Multiple Channels vs DAQ Bandwidth Example: Electron Trigger ~1500 Hz Electron Trigger systematic limit L=6x10 31 cm -2 s -1  electron rate for a threshold at 0.9 GeV is ~ 1.5kHz  needed ∫Ldt=320pb -1 before systematics limited at low p T ….  Can we continue data taking with low threshold?  Central arm trigger upgrade ? PHENIX Detector Upgrades November 20 th

6 ¨ Mutiple Channels vs DAQ Bandwidth Example: Photon Trigger ~ 1500 Hz Photon Trigger at 2.1 GeV L=6x10 31 cm -2 s -1  Photon trigger rate for a threshold at 2.1 GeV is ~ 1.5kHz  At smallest p T A LL soon will be systematics limited: Δ stat A ~ 1x10 -3, Δ sys A < 5x10 -4  Continue data taking with low threshold!  Would benefit from central arm trigger upgrade!  Improve error on rel. luminosity: spin flippers!

27 Summary I The muon trigger, VTX, FVTX are making good progress and will be available for the majority of the luminosity for polarized protons at RHIC. A FOCAL proposal is currently being prepared. However, the schedule is not yet well defined. The resulting key detection capabilities are  heavy flavor tagging.  high p T muon triggering.  extended acceptance for tracking at mid-rapidity.  large acceptance calorimetry. The experimental goals are (1) for the measurement of the gluon spin contribution ∫ΔG(x)dx  larger x-range  heavy flavor, hadron pairs, photon jet are new channels with independent experimental and theoretical uncertainties PHENIX Detector Upgrades November 20 th

28 Summary II (2) for the measurements of the helicity quark and anti-quark distributions  introduce trigger capabilities for high p T muons in the muon arms. (3) Transverse spin:  Collins-type fragmentation and Gluon Sivers in multiple channels. Possibly test fundamental prediciton on non-universality of the Sivers function in jet-photon production or in Drell Yan (the latter is very luminosity hungry). A careful evaluation of the sensitivities in various channels and the overall sensitivity of a global pQCD analysis of multiple observables has not been carried out. While the results of such a study would be very valuable for funding and planning purposes, it may be not practical to carry this out. PHENIX Detector Upgrades November 20 th
