STAR Flow, Chirality and Vorticity PWG

Hi ShinIchi,

Thanks for your nice comments, please find the updated slides at the same link,

https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/node/55552

For your comments,

It could be informative, if you could plot "v2,3,4 vs centrality” on top of the plot “a2,3,4 vs centrality” at the bottom-left of page 3 with some scaling constant (better to be common for all the orders) in order to show the centrality dependent shape (which does not have to be in the talk, maybe in the analysis note later).

>> I added a plot to the backup slide showing the v_n and the a^{p_T}_n.  I will include this in our analysis note later.

 

The top-left formula of page 3 does include offset parameter a0^pT, which also seems to show a possibly interesting centrality dependence, that you could consider showing (maybe in the analysis note...)

>> I showed this before in the PWG meeting. I will include this in the analysis note which I’m working on it now.

 

I was still thinking about the point I raised yesterday in the PWG related to above points, how we can define the an^pT parameter to be able to compare this with vn. Since G2 is defined as pT square after subtracting the baseline that is the average pT square, so that the a0^pT parameter is a kind of measure of "non-flow" with a dimension of (GeV/c)^2 and an^pT parameters are the measure of "flow" with a dimension of (GeV/c).

 

G2’ = G2 / baseline = (pT_correlation - baseline) / baseline

 

If we think about using modified G2’ as above in stead of your current G2, one can plot (1) an^pT/<pT>, which is more comparable definition to the "non-flow subtracted vn”, and/or (2) an^pT/sqrt(baseline + a0^pT), where the baseline is the average pT square, this is could even be more reasonable to be compared with vn measurement.

In this definition, (1)"non-flow subtracted vn" is even larger the other one (2), which is similar to the difference between reference fitting (or c1_subtraction) and template fittings for the small system vn analysis.

>> I will discuss this point with Claude Pruneau and I will update the PWG.

 

 

How is sigma_delta_eta(G2) defined? Is this defined as RMS or Gaussian fitting of G2(delta_eta) distribution? How did you treat the baseline that we see in G2 as a function of delta_eta? I remember we’ve discussed this sometime ago in the PWG, but not yesterday. The baseline could also be defined from a0^pT parameter from azimuthal fitting at large delta_eta or even in 2D... The sigma (or RMS) would largely be affected by the method how we define the baseline, so we need to make sure what we do and what we observe.

>> (1)  sigma_delta_eta(G2) = RMS, I added this to the slides
>> (2) The baseline is defined from the from azimuthal fitting at different delta_eta
>> (3) The baseline decrease with increasing the Nch (i.e. it will not impact the linear increase of the  RMS with Nch)

>> (4) Now I’m working with the SBU and WSU groups on a paper proposal and we will include all this information in our analysis note

 

Related to this, several different cuts on delta_phi to look at delta_eta shape, as well as, several different cuts on delta_eta to look at delta_phi shape, would be important, 2D analysis could even be better as we discussed at the end of PWG yesterday.

>> Now I’m working with the SBU and WSU groups on a paper proposal and we will include all this information in our analysis note.

 

Thanks,
Niseem
