Detector Subsystems

PHENIX consists of four spectrometer arms, trigger and vertex detectors and three magnets. The experimental layout is shown in fig. 2.1. A brief description of the subsystems, arranged in three different categories, is given below.

Figure 2.1: Experimental setup of the PHENIX detector system, viewed along the beam axis (top) and from the side (bottom).
