Physics with the NCC Heavy Ion (A+A)
photon Jet : energy loss vs L, ε reaction plane resolution: Si Barrel, Forw Si, NCC, MPC
χC states: screening, deconfinement(?)
p+A direct-photons: Qs vs x, Q2
understand what we are measuring
spin (p+p); ΔG (?) photon-jet W (isolation?)

CDR – what physics understanding/simulations ? Physics Understanding
pA – understand the variables spin – understand the measurements
Simulations In PISA (pp, pAu, AuAu)
reconstructing π0
direct photons What are the real backgrounds?
Pile up? Need Fast simulation High pt π0
Find the money…
