Hi Justin,

Thanks for preparing a nice talk and for all the work! 

Please find a few general comments - 

1. Can you make sure that your logos, figures are not stretched or squashed in any way… it looks quite funny and weird especially on the first slide… 

2. Your talk sorta jumps right into an update to the working group… this is a talk to the general nuclear physics audience at DNP who need to be gently introduced to the topic at hand yeah? Guide them to why you are doing something and how you are going to do it and what you get out of it etc.. lets try and make a story :) 

Slide 3 - I’m not sure what you want to take from these slides but I think we can have an easier way of doing this. This seems quite complicated. 

Slide 4 - these plots are also not possible to follow for your audience at al! 

Can you combine slides 3 and 4 in roughly 1 minute? Can you give me a 3-4 bullet point summary of what we learned here? What your audience needs to learn? How the plots help that? 

Slide 6 - id throw this in the backup for now

Slide 8 - I personally will only show 1 pT bin here. Possible the bottom two plots. 

Slide 9 - same as the previous slide. 

Slide 10 - what do you mean by weighted by the width of the pT interval? Do you just mean it’s divided by the bin width? So the y axis sis dN/dpT? 

Also the text in that slide is not something you want to have in the talk. You want something that tells your audience about why that plot is there. You can describe those words when you show that figure. 

I would not show all the backups here. Your slides are not going to be uploaded anywhere so I doubt that would a situation where people ask you questions about that. 

Cheers
Rithya

Hello all,

 

I’ve attached my draft slides with plot requests for DNP below. There are some slides at the beginning targeted towards the calo calibrations folks given it is on the Towerslope calibration method. There isn’t any physics result associated with the method, and so with that, should these be labeled as internal? Anyway, the rest of the slides are about the eta meson yields and targeted towards the jet structure folks.

 

Of course, all are welcome to comment on any of the slides no matter the TG association.
