STAR Correlations and Fluctuations PWG

[Hanna Paulina Zbroszczyk <hanna.zbroszczyk AT pw.edu.pl>]

Dear Yu,

Thanks for posting materials for the PWGC preview.

As mentioned before, your analysis looks mature and should move forward.

I have a couple of comments to include in your nice preview:

Slide 1: deuteron-\Lambda -> d-\Lambda or deuteron-lambda

Slide 2: the same comment regarding the title

Slide 3: interactions can provide-> interactions provide

Deuteron-\Lambda -> d-\Lambda

Slide 4: it will be helpful if you add cuts/selection criteria not only for events but for tracks and pairs as well

Slide 5: I suggest moving from your backup some content regarding corrections: purity, momentum resolution, contamination from ^3_{\Lambda}H, side-band, and down correction; in the backup, you may leave more details for the potential discussion. Looking at the content of your presentation, you still have time for them, and those corrections are typical for femtoscopy analyses (less for other analyses).

Moreover, it would be good to know how these corrections contribute to the extracted parameters. 

More about the L-L approach is also welcome, mainly how you include the separation of spin states. 

Slide 6: The same suggestion for other checks that are listed on the botton of your slide.

Moreover, here you mention only the contribution of systematic uncertainties to the data point while they are not less important for the extracted parameters.

More discussion is needed regarding systematic uncertainties included in f0, d0, and R parameters.

Slide 9: I don’t see any systematic uncertainties included in source sizes, please add them.

Y axis: d-\Lambda is not needed (C(k*) is enough)

Slide 10: Please specify what you include: 1\sigma, 2\sigma, etc.

Slide 11: Please add the Bethe formula and explain in more detail how separation energy is estimated here. 

Slide 12: You mention that extracted parameters include statistical and systematic uncertainties, but no discussion is provided. Please separate them. It is essential to know how to improve the results if more statistics are included or whether we are restricted with systematics. 

Kind regards,

Hanna

Dear Hanna, Nu, and All,

As we discussed during the collaboration meeting, please find the updated paper proposal slides for d-Lambda CF measurement. 

https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/system/files/dLambda-PaperProposal-Discussion-YuHu-20240402.pdf

We would like to request a PWGC preview if our material looks ok.

Thanks!

Best,

Yu
