sPHENIX discussion of physics

["Dennis V. Perepelitsa" <dvp AT bnl.gov>]

Hi all,

Sorry if you’re getting this message twice — my previous one bounced. I did a close reading of the Draft 0 version of Chapter 1 just now and found some grammatical issues: 

line 51: “on the performance on the acceptance” -> “on the acceptance” (performance is mentioned next on line 52)

line 57: “for and for” -> “and for”

line 59: “for displaced tracks” -> “for finding the displaced tracks” ?

line 72 and 74: the text says “five” subsystems but there are six distinct items listed in lines 72-73…

line 79: “detailed” -> “detail”, and then maybe delete “in detail” later on the line? 

line 102: “of the each” -> “of each”

line 126: “estimated in” -> “estimated to be” ?

line 146: “collision” -> “collisions”

line 151: “effect tower” -> “effective tower”

line 152: “experiment left” -> “experiment is left”

line 169: “and anti-savings” -> “an anti-savings”

line 170: “preserving a” -> “preserving” (to match “capabilities”)

line 181: “for a a” -> “for a”

Finally, one content issue which I don’t think was mentioned during the EC meeting:

removing the IHCal is listed in Table 1.1, but this does not have a corresponding description in Section 1.5

Friends,

We have compiled "Draft 0" of the response to the ALD's charge. The document can be found at:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ix032ws53rz3fhu/ALD_response_v0_20160531.pdf?dl=0

Please note that this is "Draft 0" and a lot of work remains to be done, some trivial, some not. We expect that we will distribute new iterations of the document every 24h, based on feedback and new information received, with a final discussion at this Friday's fortnightly meeting.

For this iteration, we are particularly interested on comments about the general structure, key statements and, most importantly, careful checks of the factual content, both in terms of cost savings and the description of the performance studies. Careful spell-checking OTOH may be premature at this point. Please keep in mind that the basic structure of a short overview and extended appendices with details was requested by the ALD.

The current document contains a large number of "FIXME" labels, where new numbers or cross-checks by experts are required. Also, the tracking team is running simulations with the VTX pixel and 2-layer MAPS inner tracker configurations to be included in section B.4 and the HF topical group is going to supply corresponding b-tagging performance plots.

We will meet with the ALD tomorrow afternoon, and expect to call an EC/TG coordinator meeting late tomorrow afternoon to discuss comments, questions and the final approach.

Please don't hesitate to send comments either to the list or privately, if necessary.

Cheers,

Gunther and Dave
