Hi CW, 

I'd like to follow up on your presentation from Wednesday (May 2nd).

In your "true" phi decay combinatorial, you simulated a set of real phi with realistic pt spectra and v2, and then allowed them to decay. Now instead of rotating a daughter in the transverse plane, you used mixed events. However, I'm curious about how you maintain the realistic pt spectra for the "true" phi in this approach. From my perspective, while the rotation distorts rho_00, using mixed events distorts the pt spectra.

Mixed events are just another way to assess the combinatorial decay kaon <cos^2>. There is no mixed event real phi pt. spectra to talk about.

It's worth noting that the small correction you obtained at 200 GeV cannot necessarily be used to justify the correctness of the procedure itself. Corrections tend to be small at 200 GeV anyway, regardless of the method chosen.

Additionally, as I see it, when I commenting on the rotation, you used mixed events, and when I questioning why the correction involved multiplication, you switched to subtraction without providing justification for taking a such change. This raises an important point I wanted to emphasize: this procedure needs a bottom-up derivation to back up its rationale behind each step, as a well-defined procedure should indeed be just that --- well defined. It cannot rely on arbitrary assumptions or guesswork.

Subhash and other convenors suggested we look at mixed events as another way to get the combinatorial <cos^2> vs. mass for decay kaons. Both mixed events and rotated pairs are techniques to look at the combinatorial decay bkg. 

For the correction, as we explained in the meeting, taking the ratio or difference are essentially equivalent for small corrections to finite rho00. So, for now, we show the correction both ways.

Thanks,

Aihong

Dear Subhash and all,

I would like to present "2-Particle Correlation in d+Au at 200 GeV".

If time permits, please add me to the agenda.
