STAR BES paper writing committee

[Helen Caines <helen.caines AT yale.edu>]

Hi Xiaofeng, Nasim, Mate, Lokesh and Nihar,

Thanks for volunteering to help with the BES review paper. Efforts are just starting, with plans for a “kick off” meeting just after Thanksgiving. Some initial discussion among the original proposers have taken place  and so far, although everything remains open for continued discussion, and the plans are to  cover the following topics (with those so far volunteer gin to focus on the topic also listed). You are welcome to contribute to any of the topics. Moving forward it would be best if ket discussions occur on the star-bes-paper list so everyone knows and can contribute to the plans.

1) Collective flow:                              Declan Keane 
2) CME:                                              Evan Finch, Prithwish Tribedy
3) Critical point:                                  Bedanga Mohanty 
4) HBT+Polarization:                          Mike Lisa
5) Alignment:                                      Aihong Tang
6) Spectra:                                           Nu Xu, Lokesh Kumar
7) Dileptons and Jet quenching:          Frank Geurts
8) Heavy flavor:                                  YiFei Zhang

Dear All,

After a suggestion from a group of our colleagues in STAR, we have agreed that it would be very beneficial for STAR to write a review article, to be submitted approximately one year from now, synthesizing into one comprehensive report the conclusions of the analyses of BES-I and those available from BES-II at the time of publication. A summary document at this point is timely and will at least serve to  (a)  Coherently summarize the physics message from the program to the community and provide future directions; (b) Act as a reference document in the general physics community both  experimental and  theoretical, (c) further galvanize the physics discussions as the analyses of the BES-II data progress. 

The paper will be written by a committee consisting of STAR collaborators in a similar fashion to the BUR. The committee will be lead by the spokespersons with other individuals taking the lead to draft each subsection.  We will invite anyone in STAR interested in joining this effort to let us know and sign up for paper’s dedicated email list  (star-bes-paper-l AT lists.bnl.gov) . You can subscribe at: https://lists.bnl.gov/mailman/listinfo/star-bes-paper-l.   We particularly encourage junior members of STAR who are active in the BES analyses to join this effort.

The paper will be an official STAR paper that uses the whole STAR author list when it is submitted. The goal will be to submit to a “review” type journal using only published data. No preliminary STAR data will be used as per our publication policies for publication of article in peer reviewed journals.

Since this review article will include only published data that have already been reviewed by the collaboration/GPCs we will not require a GPC for this paper, rather, as for the BUR, the text etc will be “internally” reviewed by other members of writing committee. We will however release the paper to the collaboration for an extended review period since it is expected that this article will be rather long.

The committee will report progress on the paper to the collaboration regularly with the goal of submitting the paper November 2022. To this end we will aim to get the committee running ASAP with a “kick off” presentation at the up-coming analysis meeting.

Thanks

Helen and Lijuan
