STAR Flow, Chirality and Vorticity PWG

[Prithwish Tribedy <ptribedy AT rcf.rhic.bnl.gov>]

Hello Egor,
  Please consider the following comments on your nice slides. With these 
included, I sign off your talk.

Comments on v3 of the talk at: 
https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/node/52202

slide#2, consider a revision of this sentence:
"The Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) appearing in non-central
nuclear-nuclear collisions is generated with large orbital
angular momentum"
-->
"The Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) formed in non-central
nuclear-nuclear collisions is associated with large orbital
angular momentum, that leads to vorticity in the medium"


slide #2:
"Spin-orbit coupling aligns spin directions of produced
particles with system angular momentum, known as
vorticity"
-->
"Spin-orbit coupling aligns spin of produced
particles with the direction of vorticity"

slide #4:
"decay parameter, individual for each hyperon species"
-->
"decay parameter, unique for each hyperon species"

slide #4, consider a revision of this sentence:
"It could be calculated with spectator’s
signal, as it’s resolution (𝑅𝑒𝑠(ψ1))"
-->
"Ψ1 and it's resolution (𝑅𝑒𝑠(ψ1)) can be calculated
measuring spectator’s signal"

slide #5, the following sentence is not correct:
"Nowadays the global polarization was measured only for
Λ and Λ-bar, which are mostly products of other particles"

I suggest we change it to something like this:
-->
"Nowadays, there is a growing interest to measure the global 
polarization
of Λ and Λ-bar produced from the decay of other particles such as Ξ"


slide #7 & elsewhere:
"calculation(s)" --> "measurement(s)"
"calculated" --> "measured"


slide #7:
"calculated using BBC and EPD"
-->
"calculated using BBCs and EPDs"


slide #8:
"Used topologic of decays "
-->
"Used topology of the decays"

slide #9, put "Au+Au 27 GeV, 30-40%" & "STAR preliminary" on the left 
figure.

slide #10, more details will be helpful, for example:
1. You're showing two sets of points for Ξ. Please make it clear, what 
is the difference between two methods for Ξ polarization measurements?
2. Mention the details of the parameters (decay and polarization 
transfer) that were used for this measurement.
3. Modify the labels on the right figure on slide #10 to clearly specify 
which ones are for Λ and Ξ.

slide #10, regarding the statement:
 "Ξ polarization slightly increases with centrality"
The trend is not obvious given the uncertainty, I suggest we say:
"Weak centrality dependence of Ξ polarization within uncertainties"

slide #11, the following sentence is not clear
"New results are comparable with Λ polarization studies"
We can write:
-->
"Ξ polarization is comparable to Λ polarization at 27 GeV within 
uncertainties"


Best,
Prithwish
