sPHENIX is a new detector that will be installed at RHIC, BNL. sPHENIX will feature the most advanced technologies for studying strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma using jets and heavy flavors as observables. The goal of sPHENIX is to understand the microscopic structure of plasma and reveal how its strongly coupled nature emerges from the elementary interactions between quarks and gluons described by quantum chromodynamics.
