sPHENIX discussion of physics

[Xin Dong <xdong AT lbl.gov>]

Hi Jakub,

Thanks for the nice presentation. I have a few comments/suggestions for you to consider.

1) Physics Motivation

     - "initial parton kinematics", I think you meant "heavy quark kinematics". "Initial parton" may be mixed with the parton inside nucleon or nuclei.

     - I would suggest to separate out the sub-bullet "HF hadronization, fragmentation and flow" from the "energy loss in the QGP"

2) Particle flow

     - Is the figure for inclusive jet or for b-jet? If this is for inclusive jet, you may want to move your bullet "First look at b-jets ..." to a later section.

3) Result

     - sDCA figure, you need to add the unit for the X-axis 

     - do you understand why the 2 or 3 largest sDCAxy for light flavor jet starts to skew towards the negative side?

Thanks and Best Regards

Dear Jin, Dear all,

thanks a lot for the comments, I have implemented them

ad: Could you clarify which observables behind “flow” (given it is “complementary to v2”)?

Thanks for spotting this, it was a leftover from my substructure talk...I meant the substructure measurement to be complementary - modified

I have uploaded next version to:

https://sphenix-invenio.sdcc.bnl.gov/uploads/whpxp-hsb91

Before making it public let me know and I will go through LANL approval and upload a version with UR number.

Thanks

Best regards

Jakub

Dear Jakub

 

Thanks for both the poster and the notes. Both are well written. Here are a few suggestions on the poster, and hope useful to you:

 

• Physics Motivation:

• “HF hadronization, fragmentation and flow”

• Could you clarify which observables behind “flow” (given it is “complementary to v2”)?

Tagging techniques:

• Please also mention “Lepton tagger”, which has lower efficiency due to Branching but it is a strong indicator of HF jet if one is found. It can be used together with track counting methods, as part of the markers in the jet probability.

Conclusion and next steps:

• First bullet can be “Optimize the track selection and jet tagger under the Run24 condition, including the pile up.”

 

Cheers,

 

Jin

Dear HF, Dear JS WG's,

 

please see my poster for Quark Matter 2023.

Let me know if we have updated DCA_xy resolution plot I can use or what is the source of the one I used (currently cropped from slides)

Any comments and tips are highly appreciated.

 

Thanks a lot

Best regards

Jakub
