Hi Peter,

I agree that this is an important result!  It is somewhat unfortunate that the final result did not have the leading track requirement in the reference, which caused this biased vs unbiased confusion that takes away from the physics message.  I would definitely recommend only including figure 19 which does not show the unbiased points, since it would be somewhat inappropriate to use the plots that are in the AN that did not have this bias.

I am surprised by this comment, which I do not think is correct.

It is the experimentalist's responsibility to measure and report biases. Unfortunately, many heavy ion jet measurements do not do so - this paper is one of the few exceptions.

In this paper we went into detail about the nature of the bias, providing a purely data-driven method to identify where it is negligible. This point is important, because the modeling of bias adds additional uncertainty to theoretical calculations. In JETSCAPE we are comparing to the distributions from this STAR measurement, with the "biased" and "unbiased" regions clearly delineated; see Fig 14 here:

This I think is exactly as it should be - this approach to bias brings clarity, not confusion.

The forthcoming RAA analysis being carried out by Robert (who will provide an update at the collab meeting) will improve the first jet RAA measurement in many aspects, but this approach to the bias will be carried out in exactly the same way. There is no reason to change.

There are a number of newer results that should be included too (Raghav's nice jet structure measurements for example), probably what would be good for the conveners to do is to make a list of all papers from the pwg that have been published during this time period to make sure that we don't forget everything.  Once we have that, we can start formulating a succinct and clean message.

Regards,

Peter

 

Cheers,

Rosi

Hi Convenors,

Thanks for the pointer to the slides.

I very well appreciate the need for concision, with only a few key results highlighted. However, I think that the STAR paper on inclusive jet RAA also belongs on slide 3 of STARjetLRP.pdf, as one of the significant STAR jet measurements since the last LRP:

Hello All,

As you all know, we had meeting—LRP planning for STAR/RHIC—to discuss
STAR's achievements/contributions since last Long Range Plan(LRP)-2015
on Monday this week. We also discussed possible STAR experiment
proposals (and their physics) that could be included for upcoming LRP.  

We want to present the same slides at our HP-pwg meeting this week to
get your inputs and to discuss further on this topic.
Those slides can be found here (Highlights for HP both on the jet and HF
discussion slides) along with other presentations:
https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/event/2022/08/22/LRP-planning-STARRHIC

Please join this week to discuss on this important topic.

Thank you
Barbara, Yi, Sooraj, and Nihar
