Dear Emma and the PPG/IRC team,

Thank you for preparing the dETdeta draft. I appreciate the team's efforts in advancing this work.

I would like to suggest adding a new reference after [25] at line 86 to acknowledge the EMCal block production and quality assurance work conducted in China. The proposed citation is as follows:

Yu, X.Z., Wang, X.Y., Ma, W.H. et al.

Production and test of sPHENIX W/SciFiber electromagnetic calorimeter blocks in China.

Nucl. Sci. Tech. 35, 145 (2024).

https://doi.org/10.1007/s41365-024-01517-y

This publication provides critical documentation of the manufacturing and testing processes, and its inclusion would strengthen the technical context of this section.

Thank you for considering this addition.

Best regards,

Weihu

Subject: [[Sphenix-l] ] Second circulation of PPG03: dETdeta Measurement in Au+Au Collisions at √s_NN = 200 GeV

Dear sPHENIX collaborators, 

Following the implementation of comments from the first internal circulation, we are pleased to announce the second internal circulation of PPG03: "Measurement of dETdeta in Au+Au Collisions at √s_NN = 200 GeV with the sPHENIX detector" for collaboration review. The intended journal for this paper is Physical Review C. 

The paper draft (filename "ppg03_paper_v7.pdf" for second internal circulation) can be found here: https://sphenix-invenio.sdcc.bnl.gov/records/s87xy-nd113

Also included in the files section of the invenio record are the responses to collaboration comments from the first internal circulation with filename "PPG03 Collaboration 1st Release Comments and Responses.pdf". 

We look forward to further comments from the collaboration on this paper draft. Please continue to use the invenio conversation tab location on the paper draft to include comments for ease in documentation of collaboration comments and PPG responses. 

Additionally, the PPG03 internal analysis note (v3) can be found here: https://sphenix-invenio.sdcc.bnl.gov/records/8sark-8re40

Thank you,

PPG03: Emma McLaughlin, Joseph Clement, Skaydi Grossberndt, Hanpu Jiang, Shuhang Li, Sam Liechty, Dan Lis, Jaebeom Park, Blair Seidlitz, Stefan Bathe, Jamie Nagle and Bill Zajc
