Instillation of Resistive Plate Chambers for the PHENIX Detector

The muon trigger upgrade for Pioneering High Energy Nuclear Interaction eXperiment (PHENIX) will allow for faster and more accurate studying of flavor separated quark and anti-quark spin polarizations in the proton. One way to measure these polarizations is through the analysis of single spin asymmetries for $W-$boson production in proton-proton collisions. PHENIX is capable of measuring high momentum muons at forward rapidity, however the current trigger is not capable of separating leptons from W-decay. The goal of the upgrade is to improve the ability of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) to collect and analyze muons that decay from W-bosons produced in polarized proton-proton collisions. To achieve this goal Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) will be installed at the PHENIX detector located at RHIC along with new front-end electronics. This poster will discuss the installation of the RPCs.
