Hi All,

Sasha Lebedev is working on extracting Upsilon yields through line shape fitting of simulated Upsilons + background. This work is aimed at improving our estimates of RAA for the three states, in preparation for the CD1 process.

Because part of this study will involve determining tracking efficiency, and will require careful studies of line shape parameters, it would be very useful to settle on some track cuts that we can adopt as our "standard" track cuts. Has anyone done work on optimizing track cuts for sPHENIX with TPC tracking? Any comments on what we should use?

Thanks

Tony
