sPHENIX MAPS tracker discussion

[Xin Dong <xdong AT lbl.gov>]

Hi Yasser,

May I add a few suggestions to your nicely prepared poster?

Abstract:

- I would suggest to rephrase "heavy bottom quark jets (B-jets)" as "heavy bottom quarks". One uniqueness of the thin MAPS detector is the ability to measure low pT open HF hadrons which are essential for the determination of QGP transport parameter - heavy quark spatial diffusion coefficient you mentioned below.

- Similarly, next sentence, "B-jets" -> "Bottom quarks"

Motivation:

- Two places, you use "open beauty", may be better to use "open bottom" to be consistent with the word in abstract.

- References for left and middle plots are:  sPH-HF-2017-002, sPH-HF-2017-001.

MVTX performance

- low noise (<10^-6), I think physics requirement doesn't need the noise to be mandatorily <10^-6. We may eventually choose a working point with reasonable noise level but efficiency as high as possible.

- bottom two performance plots, may be better to clarify what collision system they are for? Central Au+Au ?

Thanks and Best Regards
