Abstract

This project investigated a simulated Au-Au collision data sheet under sPHENIX environment, with 10 events in total. The sPHENIX’s MVTX will be assembled in three cylindrical layers with the main geometrical parameters listed in Table 1. Finally, we can conclude that for this Au-Au collision simulation events, nearly all the detected hits are due to primary charged particles, which made abandoning “remote” layers cannot improve the found Z coordinates resolution.
