Pixel-based detector

Cameron Dean, a postdoc at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, with the complex MVTX detector, which experts from DOE's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory assembled and shipped to Brookhaven Lab. "I've worked on the MVTX project for almost 4 years now and it has been amazing to see it progress from individual pixels chips to a fully-fledged detector," Dean said. "I can't wait to turn it on inside sPHENIX in a few months to see it record the very first collisions in a brand new experiment."
