STAR Flow, Chirality and Vorticity PWG

[Muhammad Farhan Taseer <mfarhan_taseer AT yahoo.com>]

Hi Subhash, all,

I have uploaded the proceedings again. You can see at the following link: https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/presentations/SQM-2024/Measurement-charge-dependent-directed-flow-STAR-Beam-Energy-Scan-BES-II-AuA-2

In addition, the referee comments were as follows:

----------- REVIEWER 1: Larger fonts in all figures would help: as it is - it is very difficult to reads. Besides that, the paper is very good.

 ----------- REVIEWER 2: Abstract: The title, abstract, and summary refer to (probably) all the results presented at the conference, whereas only a fraction of them are discussed/presented in the body of the article. In principle, the title suggests results from the BES-II energy scan, but only the highest energies (193 GeV, 200 GeV) are presented. I recommend changing the title, abstract, and summary so that they reflect the content of the article. Figures: Legends, axis descriptions, and axis numbers are too small in most figures, but in many places they can be easily enlarged. *** The legends and the "STAR Preliminary" text suggest that all results (U+U, Au+Au, Ru+Ru, Zr+Zr) are preliminary, in reality probably only the U+U data are not published. This should be somehow indicated in the legends and figure captions. *** Since pT and p are not defined, I suggest to add a sentence at the end of caption of Fig. 1: “Transverse momentum (pT) and total momentum in collision center-of-mass frame (p) are specified in figure legends”. *** It also looks nicer to finish figure captions with dots.

Extra comments: page 3: „Figure 2 presents v1 slope … different colliding species.” → a part of this fragment concerns v1 (not a slope of dv1/dy) so it is either a mistake or the text fragment describes a different figure (not shown in the article?) *** Last paragraph of page 3: New symbol Delta(v1) is used (in three lines) which was not introduced before. Should it be Delta(dv1/dy)? *** Delta pi, Delta K, Delta p notations (inside figures) are also not clear; I would keep (pi+ - pi-), (K+ - K-), and (p - anti-p) only. *** The last two sentences on page 3 are not clear: No significant v1 splitting… → No significant dv1/dy splitting (??) *** A similar … → not clear to what the data points are consistent … → not clear with what *** The vertical axis of Fig. 4, figure caption, and the first paragraph on page 4: symbols Delta v1, Delta(v1), Delta v1 (pT) were not defined. Should be Delta(dv1/dy)??

In the title: Collisions → collisions *** page 1: heavy ion collisions / heavy-ion collisions → should be unified *** page 1, last paragraph: positive and negative charged particles → positively and negatively charged particles *** page 1, last sentence; page 3, the first sentence of the last paragraph: [4] → ~[4] (to move it to the previous line) *** page 2, 1st paragraph, to be considered: STAR collaboration → STAR Collaboration (for consistency with page 1) ** in different → by different *** page 2: Dataset and Events Selection → Dataset and event selection *** The data analyzed in this work is recorded → The data set analyzed in this work was recorded *** at Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider → at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider *** triggered events are analyzed → triggered events were analyzed *** particle tracking within |η| < 1 → particle tracking within pseudorapidity |η| < 1 *** described in [4]. → described in Ref. [4]. *** Results and Discussions → Results and discussion *** (-0.8 < y < 0.8) → (-0.8 < $y$ < 0.8) *** v1 (y) measured in this work → v1 (y) measured in this work for U+U *** References: ** [3] Heinz Sorge → H. Sorge *** [7] Bo{\.z}ek (Bożek) ** [9] arXiv: 2304.02831 (2023)→ arXiv:2304.02831 (no space, no year) *** [10] arXiv:2305.8806 → one zero is missing, it should be 2305.08806

Thank You!

Dear Farhan,

Can you please also share the comments from referees? I can't open the
link where you submitted the proceedings, can you check or re-upload it.

Thanks and regards,
Subhash
