Evolution of PHENIX: A Journey of Collaboration and Discovery

Explore the birth and growth of PHENIX from its inception in 1990, highlighting key milestones such as the formation of working groups, installation of detector arms, and funding efforts. Follow the journey of Shoji Nagamiya and the Gang of Four as they navigated challenges and successes in building the PHENIX experiment, culminating in its approval in 1994. Witness the intersection of science, collaboration, and determination that shaped PHENIX into a groundbreaking experiment in nuclear and particle physics.

  1. August2, 2013 RIKEN Nishina Hall The time when PHENIX was born Shoji NagamiyaRIKEN / KEK

  2. Bob Ledoux Wit Busza Satoshi Ozaki John Harris Shoji Nagamiya Before 1991 1990: Workshop over July 4th holiday at BNL Converged (?) to 7 working groups on various detector proposals Courtesy of W. A.Zajc

  3. Last collaboration meeting as a PHENIX spokesperson

  4. OASIS Dimuon TALES /SPARHC RE2: Sam Aronson (spokesperson) PHEONIX: Photon, Hadron, Electron muOn Nucl. Ion eXperiment ??? Shoji Nagamiya: Appointed as PHENIX spokesperson. This was a big task (100K$/page)

  5. GANG OF FOUR inside the RHIC Tunnel Glenn Young Shoji Nagamiya Sam Aronson Leo Paffrath

  6. RHIC in 1997-98 LHC in 2000 Shoji Nagamiya OHP with hand written trans- parency QM’91 at Oak Ridge

  7. High-pT suppression is planned, but no flow measurementsplanned.

  8. in 1992

  9. OASIS Dimuon TALES /SPARHC RE2: Sam Aronson (spokesperson) PHEONIX: Photon, Hadron, Electron muOn Nucl. Ion eXperiment ??? Shoji Nagamiya: Appointed as PHENIX spokesperson. This was a big task (100K$/page) The most difficult time for me! I tried to explain to the collaboration to install muon arm(s) soon by finding additional money. Turkey without Tail! Frank Plasil yelled! It was just before the Thanksgiving holidays From 1993: Effort to fund muon arms started. Approach to RIKEN + Approach to AEE from DOE.

  10. Detector in Chinese (Taiwan) Detector in Chinese (Beijing) Detector in Japanese, in particular, for RIKEN Serious effort in obtaining outside funds initiated.

  11. All Gang of Four had Honda Cars. Photo taken in front of PHNEIX Counting Hall.

  12. OASIS Dimuon TALES /SPARHC RE2: Sam Aronson (spokesperson) PHEONIX: Photon, Hadron, Electron muOn Nucl. Ion. eXperiment ??? Shoji Nagamiya: Appointed as PHENIX spokesperson. This was a big task (100K$/page) The most difficult time for me! I tried to explain to the collaboration to install both muon arms soon by finding additional money. Turkey without Tail! Frank Plasil yelled! It was just before the Thanksgiving holidays From 1993: Effort to fund muon arms started. Approach to RIKEN. 1994: Approval of PHENIX

  13. Shoji Nagamiya Glenn Young Walter Kehoe Sam Aronson Leo Paffrath Candidate Logos

  14. 1994 (continued) Spin program combined into PHENIX. Two –arm version was proposed: One from DOE and the other from RIKEN.

  15. Collaboration Mtg ‘94 BNL Sam Aronson Soren Sorensen Johanna Stachel Donna Early Mariette Faulkner Sean Gavin Shoji Nagamiya

  16. Total 20 M$ incl. Siberian snakes & rotators STAR 11.4 M$ 1.9 M$ PHENIX RCF

  17. Orbital Spin physics came in.

  18. Talks on AGS

  19. Bill Zajc was elected to the next spokesperson. RIKEN-BNL Center was approved.

  20. (US:50 M$, Japan: 24 M$)

  21. Much richer Day-1 program as compared to the expectations !
