STAR Flow, Chirality and Vorticity PWG

["Liu, Xiaoyu" <liu.6566 AT buckeyemail.osu.edu>]

Dear conveners, 

We have implemented all the comments and suggestions and we would like to request a GPC for the paper. Please let us know if anything else is needed. 

Best,

Xiaoyu

Dear Xiaoyu, PAs,

Thanks for sending the documents. In general it is in a very good shape.
I have a few comments/suggestions for you to consider.

General comment on manuscript:
You could add line numbers, so it is easy to comment on texts.

1. In the abstract, you have motivated that these results can provide
insight into baryon stopping. But in the main text and summary, you
didn't discuss its implications or how our data can be useful. It would
be good have an elaborate discussion somewhere in the draft.

2.  It is pointed out in [1501.04468, Eur.Phys.J. C75 (2015) no.9, 406]
that v1 in forward rapidity could be sensitive to shear viscosity to
entropy and tilt-angle. I would suggest to include as another
motivation.

3. You have used TPC EP as a reference in your v1 calculation. Is it
possible to use EPD east as EP and then calculate v1 in EPD west, and
vice versa?

Comments on manuscript text:
Section-B:
"RHIC run18 in 2018." --> RHIC runs during 2018
"Centrality classes in this data ...." -> You could mention comparison
with Glauber MC and add a reference
Section III-A
"the “three sub-event method”:" --> add a reference
"TPC event plane resolution ends up between 0.02 and 0.08" --> Do you
have a resolution plot? Would be good to include in the draft. Is this
resolution number in absolute or percentage? Are their any uncertainty
on resolution, e.g. varying eta-gaps?

Section III-B
ADC,MPV are jargons, you may explain ADC, MPV etc here for general
audience.
"points along η simply by taking the average of the 16 v1 values and 16
η values"  --> Is the spread considered as syst errors?

Section III-C:
"with the material in the detector" -->  I guess material and support
structures
"GEANT4[6][7], limiting fragmentation[10][11]" --> Please correct the
style of referencing

Section III-D:
Discussions on systematic uncertainties could be improved. You could
either add a table or list the sources of systematic errors and their
typical magnitude etc.

Cosmetic suggestion:
Could you improve the quality of figures, I mean you could enlarge them
and make the legends etc larger. For some figures, there are lines
around it (e.g. Fig. 7, 10), please fix it.

Comments on Analysis Note:
"Correction for the STAR material budget" --> If you are using an
official star embedding, please include production name details etc.
here in the AN.
Systematic errors: You could either add a table or list the sources of
systematic errors and their typical magnitude etc.

Comments on Code:
Could you also make a copy at RCF and send us the path. Eventually, it
need to be in CVS.

Thanks and regards,
Subhash
