sPHENIX EMCal discussion

[Martin Purschke <purschke AT bnl.gov>]

Hi Anabel,

Very nice. It shows how much work has gone into it, looks nicely polished.


I would move what the first sentence in Section II says earlier into the
introduction, and strengthen the message that this prototype is what we
will have at high eta, as opposed to the other one around eta = 0. This
will put this paper into better context with our earlier one that you
cite in passing as [19]. Then you can point out the differences to what
is described in the earlier paper. Some of this information is in the
final sentences of the introduction; I would weave this into a clearer
message. Given the long back-and-forth with the reviewers then it might
speed the acceptance up if we are up-front that this is a quite
different prototype.
Space permitting, you could add a drawing of a two-sector assembly and
point out what part was covered then and which part is tested now. Then
the right view of this prototype in Fig. 1 can be better put into context.

A really minor thing is about the sentence "Four veto detectors were
also placed around the EMCal in order to suppress background from MIPs."
I would not refer to them as MIPs, call this suppression of particles
traveling outside the beam position or so.

Another small latex-y thing is how you write word-subscripts such as
E_{cluster} in a formula. In math-mode, that is interpreted as factors,
c*l*u*.... Better to write E_{\rm cluster}. See if it looks better.

Best,
        Martin
