sPHENIX MAPS tracker discussion

["Huang, Jin" <jhuang AT bnl.gov>]

Hi Zhaozhong

 

Nice job putting together the draft in such short notice! And glad to see the first round feed back from Cameron Dean on the MatterMost channel

 

A few suggestions to improve upon the draft

 

• Abstract : “this talk” -> “this poster”
• sPHENIX detector section

• Second bullet to “Study the inner workings of QGP with hard probes at a broad range of length scale”
• “Larger datasets and higher precision measurements Larger datasets and higher precision measurements for bottom quark physics studies”
  ->
  “Enabling precision bottom quark physics studies at RHIC”

MVTX section

• “Copy of inner barrel of ALICE” -> “Adapting the inner barrel of ALICE”
• “Vertex resolution ~5um for pT>1GeV” is incorrect
  ->
  “Track vertex displacement resolution <30um for p_T>1GeV”

Upsilon section

• Remove “Comparison between sPHENIX with LHC …” as it is not leading to a clear point

b-jet section

• Remove “Constrain bottom quark diffusion transport parameters” which rely on the lower pT HF hadron measurement

Open HF section

• “Study charm diffusion Study charm diffusion and energy loss mechanism in the QGP medium”
  ->
  “Precision study of the charm and bottom diffusion and energy loss mechanism in the QGP medium”

B_s subsection

• y-axis unit is strange. I assume it is pb/bin? Then we need to mention bin size in the unit
• Please mention the plot include full detector simulation of the signal only. Background is still under study
• “First 𝐵𝑠0 measurement in Au + Au collision at RHIC energy with leptonic PID”
  ->
  “Exploring the possibility of 𝐵𝑠0 measurement at RHIC energy”
  as we can not claim it is feasible until the background is studied.

 

Hope you find them useful.

 

Cheers

 

Jin

Subject: First Draft of sPHENIX Poster for IS2021

 

Dear sPHENIX Heavy Flavor Topic Group and MAPS Group members,

 

I have been invited to present a poster entitled "Heavy Flavor Capabilities of the sPHENIX Experiment" on behave of the sPHENIX Collaboration at Initial Stages 2021 Conference:

 

https://indico.cern.ch/event/854124/contributions/4135433/

 

I have just prepared the first draft of my poster. You can find the pdf version on my github website below:

 

https://github.com/MYOMAO/IS2021Poster/blob/master/sPHENIX_IS21_Zhaozhong%20First%20Draft.pdf​

Can you have a look at the poster? It would be great if you can provide me with feedback before deadline Sunday Jan 10 so that I have time to implement your suggestions. Thank you very much!

 

Sincerely,

Zhaozhong Shi
