STAR Flow, Chirality and Vorticity PWG

["Wang, Fuqiang" <fqwang AT purdue.edu>]

Hi Chunjian,

 

My understanding is the following:

1)     Glauber is just a fit to data. The two can scale up and down simultaneously, for each system, depending on how the data normalization is done. That’s not a problem.

2)     When plotting the ratio of the Ru/Zr data, there’s a scaling. I don’t remember what exactly the scaling was; one choice could be that the multiplicity distributions of Ru and Zr are both normalized to 1 (per event) and then the ratio is taken.

3)     The same scaling is applied to the Glauber fit Ru/Zr ratio. There isn’t an arbitrary scaling here, i.e. the relative Glauber vs data in each system is fixed from the fit.

 

Best regards,

Fuqiang

Dear Fuqiang,

 

Hi. Thank you for your comments. Yes. In the vertical axis, what’s the actual value of the scale factor? Would not we let the audience know this in the paper clearly?Even in the talk, nobody mention this. I would not say let’t the audience guess there is no any  “tricky” process. 

 

 Also, please find the similar recent study in slides 4 https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/system/files/nuclear%20deformation%20and%20neutronSkin_isobar_FCV1026_CZhang.pdf. It must have one value around 0.99 or 0.98 to something else scaling. 

 

Best regards 

Chunjian

Hi Chunjian,

 

Do you mean the scaling in the vertical axis?

I think it’s just a plotting convenience. 

 

The Glauber is fit to the data in the range of Nch>50 I believe. 

Best regards,

Fuqiang

Dear experts,

Hi. Based on our recent study, I have one comment on the CME paper Glauber fit.

I could not find any hints that the Glauber fit was scaled by a factor to match the STAR multiplicity trend. To me, it’s a misleading that I would like to believe and be surprised that the case3 describe the tend so well. (I believe the outside people will also have the same opinion as mine) I do think the CME author and experts need to consider mention this in the revised CME paper when you comment on the referee reports. 

Thank you and best regards 
Chunjian
