STAR Flow, Chirality and Vorticity PWG

[Sooraj Radhakrishnan <skradhakrishnan AT lbl.gov>]

Hi Rishabh,

   Thanks for preparing the nice presentation and the interesting results. Please find a few comments from me below

It is somewhat surprising that v3 shows good mass scaling, while v2 doesn't. Is there an explanation for this?

From BES-I results, we had claimed that mass number scaling holds for v2 within pT/A < 1.5 GeV (PRC 94, 034908 (2016)). With BES-II we see deviations. Do you have a comparison of the BES-I and BES-II results for the different particle species?

S4: What is the equation about?

S4: Why is the fluctuating initial conditions relevant here?

S5: Please include EPD and ETOF also under BES-II upgrades

S5: track momentum and event plane?

S6: What is track resolution?

S9: What is the low pT you refer to here? Please indicate the range

S12: seems to be --> is in

S15: Can you quantify the extend of scaling? May be fit a constant to your lower plots and evaluate the value and uncertainty. This should tell you to within what percentage you can claim v3 scaling

S16: seems to be --> is in

S17: You could also point to other light nuclei flow results from STAR (Chengdong's talks for eg). In th outlook, you can indicate the remaining energies to be measured and their relevance 

Best,

Sooraj

Dear Subhash,

Thank you for your comments. Please find the revised version of slides
here: https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/node/64854.

Nucleons will propagate the initial state fluctuations if the light
nuclei are formed by the coalescence mechanism.

The improvement in statistical uncertainty varies from particle to
particle and with the pT bin. On average, we observe a 30–40%
improvement in BES-II energies compared to BES-I energies.
Instead of writing it down on the slide, I was hoping, just like in my
SQM talk, that I could tell the fraction while delivering the talk.
Please let me know if that is okay.

Implemented.

Implemented.


Please let me know if you have any further suggestions for me.

Thanks and regards,
Rishabh
