Hi Michael

 

Thanks for the nice dry run. Here is my notes of the discussion. Please update your slides and post to the collaboration. 

 

Cheers

General: 

• Time consumption is good. But need to add a few slides
• Gunther: general detector description, schedule 2023-25
• Small formatting, subscript, superscript
• Add the new pp HF program. Reference to HF TG input to the PAC meeting: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HPsxwadQjLPPUPji5lD2ytQgPS5xBKFI/view?usp=sharing   
• Ming: some latest MVTX design plots from recent MVTX desgin reveiw (1/2020), https://www.phenix.bnl.gov/WWW/publish/mxliu/sPHENIX/Reviews/BNL-012920/MVTX-Overview-FinalDesignReview-BNL-01292020-v4.pptx  

 

Slide 3/4: 

• Gunther: Change presentation order to outside-in
• Jin: it is nice to add a reference to an ALICE talk on their ITS MAPS work

 

Slide 4/5: 

• Yasser: geometry numbers need to be updated to the latest - new MVTX layers radius: 24.6 - 39.9 mm
• Dave: sPHENIX benefits years of detector R&D in other collaborations, e,g. MAPS from ALICE, FELIX from ATLAS. Using CERN facility as sPHENIX is CERN recognized experiment. Adding a picture of Michael in a cleanroom suit
• Jin: Show a picture of sPHENIX MAPS integration
• Yasser/Ming: Mention stave delivery schedule. 6 FELIX cards in production

 

Slide 6:

• Gunther: CA - Optimizing for efficiency. 
• Gunther: Close to goals of 5s per AuAu event reconstruction time
• Gunther: move slow control to near-production status. Spell out GBT-SCA. 
• Yasser: mention slow control framework SWT. General readout diagram to backup
• Dave: add a point of comparison for each major bullet

 

Slide 8: 

• Dave: underline the importance of a precision vertex
• Gunther: swap to DCA_Z DCA_rphi plots

 

Slide 10: 

• Gunther: top plot keep right only. Mention simulation included suppression. As in LHC, it would be challenging to see in HI collisions. 
• Add a reference to the curve, [10.1103/PhysRevD.100.014008 ]
• FYI: Sasha L's talk has projected upper limit for Y(3s) too: https://indico.bnl.gov/event/5461/contributions/28053/attachments/22612/31997/Current_status_of_Upsilon.pdf  

 

Slide 11: 

• Gunther: re-title
• Dave/Gunther: separate inclusive tagger for b-jet and exclusive tagger on the right side, allow extending pT range. Unique topology allowing ID without PID

 

Slide 12:

• Hideki: The plot in the MVTX proposal is better and newer for the b-jet working point, i.e. fig 20 of https://indico.bnl.gov/event/4072/
• Hideki: Note the bottom plot is track counter only
• Dave: add a point of reference, e.g. the CMS working point. Jin: One way to show is slide 13 of https://indico.bnl.gov/event/5111/contributions/24230/ 

 

Slide 14: 

• Hideki/Dave: Mention support via LANL LDRD

 

Slide 15: 

• Trigger discussion of obtaining R_AA

 

Slide 16/17: 

• Dave/Jin: reference to STAR talk and publication

 

Slide 19: 

• Update poster list with Marzia
