Hadronic Calibration of Topological Clusters in the sPHENIX Experiment

The sPHENIX experiment is designed to measure jets from heavy ion collisions. Topological calorimeter clusters, clusters of energy between all calorimeter segments, can be used as input to jets. We study the single particle performance for topological clusters. Separating clusters that are dominantly hadronic (i.e. from charged pions) compared to dominantly electromagnetic (i.e. from π⁰) can be used to perform hadronic energy scale calibrations. In this poster we present the performance of hadronic/electromagnetic separation of topoclusters and their use as a calibration tool.
