Hi Tong,

consistent with unity beyond 2 GeV. Do you think it's a good idea if I
say > 2 GeV here?
For this proceedings, let's keep as it is, we can discuss more on it in future as you are doing some studies on it.

Besides, I have further additional comments that I missed probably last time.
With this I sign off.

_ use "and" instead of "&" (L59)
_ "even above 1 at " (L60) and similarly in L133, use "unity" or "one" instead of "1" in sentence.


Cheers
Nihar

Hi Nihar,

Thanks for the comments. Regarding your last point, the STAR d+Au
measurement reports >=1 RdAu in ~1.5-7 GeV; the ALICE p+Pb 5.02 TeV
measurement reports pi+ and pi- separately, and they are all
consistent with unity beyond 2 GeV. Do you think it's a good idea if I
say > 2 GeV here?

I applied your other comments and updated the draft on drupal.

Hello Tong,

Please find my additional comments on your revised proceedings
(Received
July 10).

L54: "This gives us confidence …" -> "This corroborates…"
L56-57"…note that the Zr+Zr RAA is systematically slightly higher
…" ->
Within uncertainty, they are consistent with Ru+Ru and we don't need
to
mention "systematically slightly higher "; hence I suggest to drop
this
and stop at " The Ru+Ru and Zr+Zr R_AA….within uncertainty."
L62: "...at intermediate pT [5,8] " Can you please find out and
unequivocally mention the pT range used in these papers for those
collision systems? It would be very clear in this proceedings.

Cheers

Hi Yi and all,

Thanks for the comments; I have a few replies attached below. I
agree with those not listed/mentioned here and I've already
implemented them. Please find an updated version on drupal, and
see
if you have further comments. Thanks!

- L47: Just for my own education, why is it 5.1 GeV/c? Not 5.0?

The reason is kinda trivial: The pp reference we are comparing
against is binned that way. It has a bin from 4.8 to 5.1 GeV/c,
and
one from 5.1 to 6. We would’ve happily used 5 GeV if the
reference
were binned that way; and since it doesn’t make much
difference
anyway, in the HG-PYTHIA simulation we went back to the 5 GeV/c
threshold.

- Is it possible to move Fig 1 after L58? It seems better (to
me)
to see the descriptions before the plot.

Maybe I’m just bad at latex, but I can’t find a way to do
so…

- L77 - 79: Just for my own education, I think the RAA results
(data points in Fig.1) are efficiency-corrected, right? Then,
why
do
you need simulation including detector effects?

Yes, but the random nature of detector inefficiency means the
centrality ranking might be shuffled in real data; e.g. an
events
who has 31 truth-level tracks but loses 4 of them could end up
in
a
more peripheral class than another with 30 tracks but only
loses
2.
Since refmult mostly relies on low-pt tracks and peripheral
isobar
events already don’t have many tracks, this effect might’ve
been
substantial already.

Sorry for the very late reply and thanks a lot for the

almost forgot this, very sorry about that).

Thanks a lot for the very nice proceedings.
I only have some very minor comments/suggestions for your

- L7: in our community --> in heavy-io community (is it
better?
Totally up to you.)
- L9: Do you need this bracket? I would remove it.
- L13: high pT --> high transverse momenta (pT)
- L14: low transverse momenta (pT) --> low pT
- L25: Add some references from the BES program?
- L33: It would be good to specify the collision systems, say
Isobar, Au+Au, d+Au, and Cu+Cu.
- L34: In section 3 we --> in section 3, we
- L35: distribution --> distributions
- L36: ratio --> ratios

me)
to see the descriptions before the plot.
- L48: the quality -> the high statistics (? Up to you)
- L53: [3] [4] [5] --> [3 - 5] (I think you can just use
\cite{a,
b, c}
- L55: Ru+Ru and Zr+Zr RAA results --> The RAA results from
Ru+Ru
and Zr+Zr (Or "The Ru+Ru and Zr+Zr RAA results)
- L67: in [6] --> in Ref. [6]
- L73: I would use "0.2 GeV/c" (same unit as others).
- L74: 5 GeV --> 5 GeV/c (not 5.1 GeV/c ?)
- L77 - 79: Just for my own education, I think the RAA results
(data points in Fig.1) are efficiency-corrected, right? Then,
why
do

- L88: in [10] --> in Ref. [10]
- is it possible to move Fig.2 after L93? (up to you, too)
- L101: I am not sure if the proceedings from the same
conference
is a good reference. It is probably okay to link to his
presentation?)

- L101: Isobar spectra --> the Isobar spectra
- L114: similar comments as "Haojie's proceedings"
- L119: "trigger" particles --> "triggered" particles
- L120: trigger particles --> triggered particles
- L131: Add a reference of the STAR forward upgrade (from
previous
QM?)

Hi Barbara,

Thanks for your comments. I have a few responses to some of
them;
I
have applied the rest of them to the updated version on
drupal.

L57-58: "note that the Zr+Zr RAA is systematically slightly
higher
due to smaller Npart" - this is not very clear, do you mean
that
the
average Npart in a given centrality bin is smaller for Zr+Zr
compare
to Ru+Ru ?

Yes you’re right. I added “at the same centrality bin”.

L104: medium production depends -> medium properties depend
(?
not
fully sure what you wanted to say here)

What we show in this chapter is the soft particles, which are
produced by QGP hadronization. So the yield presented here is
the
“medium production”.

L131: η coverage -> the η coverage

I’m not sure I get what you’re trying to say… my
original
says
“the extended eta coverage offered by the new STAR forward
upgrade”

L133: studies to understand -> studies that help to
understand

That sounds a bit weird to me... I changed it to “studies
that
improve our understanding on ”

Hi Nihar,

Thanks to the comments, I have implemented them and posted
them
on
drupal. The link is kinda funny probably because I created a
duplicate entry, so please find the pdf here:







https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/system/files/QM22_Proceeding_TongLiu%20%281%29_0.pdf

Please responses to some your comments below:

Line#25: "dependencies" on what? like system size,
Temperature,
muB. Need to

mention what are those?

The dependencies I’m mentioning are system size and
collision
energies, which I talk about in the next sentence. I also
rephrased
the next sentence a bit to make it more coherent.

Line#63 ":..note that the Zr+Zr RAA is

systematically slightly larger due to smaller Npart,"-> I can
see
both

Ru and Zr RAA are consistent within uncertainty. Hence this
statement is

not correct. Please remove this.

I see what you’re trying to say, but the uncertainty you
see
here
is mostly systematic, hence common across isobar species, and
should
be canceled when comparing Ru against Zr, as is done in
section
3.
Therefore one should only focus on the central value here.
Line#150: "…found, photonuclear processes with high
multiplicity
.." ->

"found in the photonuclear processes with high multiplicity
…"

The latter part of the sentence is talking about future
measurements. That being said, since you removed the “high
multiplicity” part in Sec. 4, I removed the corresponding
statement here as well– though we need to confirm with
Prithwish
and Nicole.

Line#151: "…help us understand …" -> "…help us to
understand…"

I believe the “to” is optional here, and since we are
short
on
space anyway I suggest we leave it as is.

Line#31: "Further, ensembles with…" -> "Furthermore, the

Line#34: "jet quenching and flow " are not medium properties.
Like

"flow" and "collectivity" are the same properties of QGP.
Please rephrase this sentence,
LIne#37:-38 "For the first two sections, we focus on
…spectrum"
Not
needed and you can drop it. As you going through Section-2
and
-3
individually in next sentences.
Line#38: "...the high-pT spectrum and show the nuclear

3,…"
Line#42:
"Finally in

Section-2 title:
I would not say " hard partons" because we probe hard partons
using
jet
measurement, here we measure "inclusive charged hadrons".
Line#47: "…event and …" -> "…event, and …" Line#51:

Ru and Zr RAA are consistent within uncertainty. Hence this

mention
as
a

Can you

mention
what
are
those "direct properties" of the medium? Line#94-96: This
statement

Line#110: "…pushing our limits to the low end" Not clear;
what
is
that
low end ? You need to mention.
Comment: In this section-4,
it
would be
better if you could introduced what is gamma+A event is.
LIne#119: "For this we form pairs by selecting charged …"

"For
this,

In Eq.1, you need to mention what is "n"? Like different

"within

uncertainties)
Line#131: "High activity events will be explored in future. "
Not
