STAR Correlations and Fluctuations PWG

[Nu Xu <nxu AT lbl.gov>]

Dear Rutik and All,

Here are my suggestions for the draft:
1) slide 10 - last bullet: I do not see the connections with other points. I 
suggest remove it;

2) slide 11: It is not clear from the texts if the efficiency is extracted 
from embedding or other methods. Please make it clear;

3) slide 13: (i) again, the notion for eta is for different frame, please 
make it consistent. Otherwise it will lead to confusion; (ii) plot: for 
y-axis, I suggest change the lower limit to something like -0.25;

4) slide 16: (i) 2nd-bullet: the sentence is incomplete. Should be something 
like “Calculations from transport model …”; (ii) The meaning of bullet 3,4,5 
is unclear. Not sure what do you want to say;

5) slide 18 - 2nd bullet: the sentence is incomplete. Something like “STAR 
data from 200 GeV Au+Au collisions …”. The same for the 4th bullet;

6) slide 19: It is redundant with respect to slide 18. I suggest remove it.

7) slide 21 - last bullet: at the end, add “especially at the 3GeV Au+Au 
collisions. The effect is not yet fully understood” or something like this. 
This means that we are still thinking about the new result. This is th eke 
slide of the talk. The UrQMD model is a hadronic transport model. Supposedly, 
it works better for low energy collisions where partonic medium may not be 
dominant, see Ref. 5 and 6. However, here as one can see that the model 
result is totally failed while the model calculations show a reasonable 
energy dependence of the pT-correlation at higher collision energies. I do 
not understand why so.

8) slide 21 - References: do we need 5 and 6?

That is all for now.

Best regards,

Nu
