Dear Prof. ShinIchi,

Thank you very much for your reply and nice suggestions!

I have used the proper method via chi extraction to estimate the combined event plane resolution for the 2-sub event method. When I combined forward and backward event planes, I flipped the sign of eastern q-vector before I adding them for TPC and EPD(east and west), but no TPC a(east_a and west_a) and b(east_b and west_b). So I corrected it and get the new results. The direct correlation values between two planes I have showed in the attachment. For the question of the enhancement at about 30% in the resolution plot, I do not have a clearly idea about it. Maybe due to the reversion of the direct correlation values between TPC and EPD in the figure I showed in the attachment. Then, I will check the reason about this enhancement.

Thank you again and Best regards,

Junyi

Dear Junyi (and Zuowen)

Thank you very much for your studies.

Do you now use the proper method via chi extraction to get a combined resolution

for the 2-sub method without the sqrt(2) approximation? It is reasonable to see

this red points are very close to the green (4-sub) points which include the same

correlation between EpdE and EpdW, but do you understand the small step (deviation)

at about 30%? There also seems to be significant steps at about 30% in the other

resolutions for the blue and light-brown (both triangle) points. So could you please

show the direct correlation between 2 planes (average cos and sin values) for each

of the 3-sub (and 4-sub) cases, where you seem to take absolute value to solve the

equation, therefore I would first like to see all these 3 (or 4) positive and negative

correlation values (average cos terms) for each of the 3-sub (or 4-sub) cases before

taking the absolute values. If it’s not too much for you. When you combine forward

and backward event planes, you would need to flip the sign of the q-vector before

adding them (especially for EPD_inner/outer as well as for TPC_a/b cases), that I

hope you do, right? Thanks again for your efforts on this.

Best regards, ShinIchi

Dear Prof. Shinlchi,

Thank you very much for your nice suggestions and patient explanations!

After discussions with Zuowen, we conducted the test based on your recommendations, and the results are in the attachment. The EPD(east)-EPD(west) used traditional 2-sub method, and for EPD inner and outer defined by EPD-CD and EPD-A(eta gap is EPD-B here). Similarly, the definitions of TPC (a) and (b) are |eta|<0.7 and 0.8<|eta|<1.5. The results of EPD(east)-EPD(west) and TPC(full)-EPD(east)-EPD(west)-EPD(full) are similarly at different centrality bins. But the other results vary significantly.

Thanks again and Best regards,

Junyi

Dear Prof. ShinIchi,

I am very appreciate your nice and instructive suggestions.

I agree that we should avoid the p-cons. effect, for much wider eta coverage of upgraded EPD in particularly. The formula you write would tell us how much would the p-cons. bring, it's worthy to test it. I think I know how to do this for now.

The formula I wrote (1) R1( TPC-EPD(full) ) = ...

please just forget it, I misunderstood the symbol "-" as connector but not subtraction.

Thanks again for your kind help.

Best regards,

Zuowen

Dear Zuowen

There was a typo, "with change” should have been “with charge” at the end of

the 1st paragraph. One can also do (a) with |eta|<0.5 (<0.75) and (b) with |eta|>0.5

(>0.75 for BES2 case) in order to make both (a) and (b) be rapidity symmetric

just like EPD inner and outer cases.

For the 2-sub case, they need to be similar as you say, and it is always be better

to be less affected by p-cons nor non-flow etc...

Dear Zuowen

I can re-write the full EPD resolution for these four "3-sub" from (1)

to (4) cases in my previous E-mail as attached png file, we could

also call (1) and (2) as 4-sub, since we use the 4 terms (4 planes)

to get the full EPD plane. The notations are the followings. We also

have usual 2-sub just with EPD_east and EPD_west in order to get

EPD_full plane via sqrt(2) times the chi value of single plane, which

we can call (0) that I’ve not listed here. For TPC(a/b), one can

define in “any” rapidity symmetric way like randomly or with many

small eta slices or with change (in case of high energy) etc.

E          : EPD full

Ee/Ew  : EPD east/west

Ei/Eo    : EPD inner/outer

T           : TPC full

Te/Tw    : TPC east/west

Ta/Tb    : TPC a/b (charge, many eta slices, random)

We need to worry about p-cons effect for cases (1) and (3) as well as

(0), since they all contain the east - west correlation. While we do not

need to worry about p-cons effect for (2) and (4), since all planes are

defined in rapidity symmetric way such that the p-cons effects cancel out

in all the terms. But we need to worry about non-flow coming from the

small or no-eta gap in (2) and (4) and most likely also in (3), since 2 TPC

planes would be close. We might also not be able to neglect the non-flow

between TPC and EPD depending on the eta (nHitFit) cuts and z-vertex

selections for all the cases.

You wrote a formula (1) R1( TPC-EPD(full) ) = ... that I could not follow

what you wanted to say as I attached in the 2nd png file without (number).

It’s not wrong, but...

Best regards, ShinIchi

Dear Prof. ShinIchi,

Thank you very much for your patient and detailed explanation.

If I understand correctly, 2-sub method require 2 similar EP, while the EPD cover high and low rapidity, correlation between east and west EPD would be affected by p-cons. , e.g. high rapidity at west EPD correlated with low y at east EPD.

Sorry for the four combinations you provided here, I want to make sure, could the 3-sub resolution could be expressed as follow:

(1)  R1( TPC-EPD(full) ) = sqrt{ (TPC-EPD(full) TPC-EPD(east)) * (TPC-EPD(full) TPC-EPD(west)) / (TPC-EPD(east) TPC-EPD(west)) }

(2),(3)....

(4) what's the meaning of TPC (a) and (b) here?

Thanks again for the great help and professional suggestion you always gived.

Best regards,

Zuowen

Dear Zuowen

Thank you very much for the reply.

v1 = v1_raw / resolution

The “v1_raw" can be measured without p-cons effect, because of the symmetric

rapidity acceptance of EPD with respect to TPC as you have also mentioned,

however the “resolution” could be still affected by p-cons between 2 EPD planes,

especially if it is determined with 2-sub method, which uses the correlation between

the forward and backward EPD planes. So in this case, “v1_raw” is OK, but “resolution”

could be overestimated by p-cons, therefore the final “v1”could be smaller than the truth.

That is why we need to think about 3-sub method or some other ways to take this into

account, for example, one could try to do a few things.

(1) TPC-EPD(east)-EPD(west) and TPC-EPD(full)

(2) TPC-EPD(inner)-EPD(outer) and TPC-EPD(full)

(3) TPC(east)-TPC(west)-EPD(full)

(4) TPC(a)-TPC(b)-EPD(full)

With these A-B-C and A-D for the cases (1) and (2), one could get resolution of D

= (AD)/sqrt(AB*AC/BC). For the case (1), I would think it gives a similar resolution

from the current 2-sub, because of the same p-cons effect existing in B-C. For the

case (2), all A,B and C are free from p-cons because of the symmetric choice, but

we now need to worry about non-flow and eta-gap in B-C. For the case (3), we also

need to worry about non-flow and p-cons in A-B. For the case (4), if we take both

TPC(a) and (b) to be symmetric in rapidity, we are free from the p-cons, but we still

need to care about non-flow between (a) and (b)… If we could have 3 independent

and rapidity symmetric planes (without non-flow and de-correlation), it would be

good. Thank you very much again for the discussion.

Best regards, ShinIchi

Dear Prof. ShinIchi,

Thanks a lot for your nice suggestions.

Junyi and I have talked about the approximation on sqrt(2).

We agree that the approximation is not appropriate, and it would be corrected.

For the mom. cons. effect, I agree if we reconstruct EP with one arm of EPD, we would face the p cons. effect due to the asymmetry. But I don't understand why we need to worry about p cons. if we used 2-sub event, where the mom is conserved "naturally" due to the symmetric track direction. While Junyi and I could take a quick cross-check for the

single and two EPDs.

Thanks and Best regards,

Zuowen

Dear Zuowen (and Junyi)
I mentioned to Junyi about the approximation on sqrt(2), so I hope you can
communicate with Junyi on this. As I’ve also written in the chat window, I
send you the same (following) message just in case you might have missed,
that is about the mom.-cons. effect in 2-sub e.p. resolution estimation.

I should have asked this to Zuowen, who is doing similar 2 sub-event methods
for estimating e.p. resolution, I think we need to think about p-conservation
between 2-subs, by including and/or comparing the 3-sub or other methods in
order to understand the possible contribution from p-cons effect in the current
e.p. resolution estimation. While for measuring raw v1, it is canceled, since you
use the combined E.P. from e/w EPDs, but as long as you are based on the
2-sub method between E-W event planes for the E.P. resolution estimation,
we are affected by the momentum conservation effect, that we would like
to subtract, as we could clearly see the effect using the single arm EPD plane
E or W, that is the p-cons effect between TPC and single EPD, which would be
different from the one between two EPDs...
Best regards, ShinIchi
