STAR HardProbes PWG

[Sooraj Radhakrishnan <skradhakrishnan AT lbl.gov>]

Hi Rongrong,

   Thanks for the updated version and the answers. I am fine with the other replies and the update

On S17, its not still clear to me what you intend to say here. Do you want to say we could as a new analysis study b-jets using electron tagging with HFT in the 2014+2016 data? You dont discuss/show purity or efficiency here. For single electron analysis, we were using template fits to get the relative bottom and charm fractions. Tagging could be done for b-->e, but the purity would depend on the DCA cut and electron pT. 

thanks

Sooraj

Hello Rongrong,

That is fine.
I sign off.
