<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align:
center; line-height: normal;" align="center">For the next decade,
the PHENIX collaboration has proposed a major upgrade, which
consists of large acceptance electromagnetic and hadronic
calorimetry built around the superconducting solenoid magnet that
was recently shipped to BNL from the decommissioned BaBar
experiment at SLAC. This upgrade, sPHENIX, enables an extremely
rich jet and beauty quarkonia physics program addressing
fundamental questions about the nature of the strongly coupled
quark-gluon plasma. sPHENIX is also designed to serve as the
foundation for a detector at a future electron-ion collider (EIC).
New tracking, particle identification and calorimetry detectors
will be added to enable a comprehensive EIC physics program using
polarized e+p and e+A collisions. The physics goal, detector
design and the performance studies will be discussed in this talk.<span
