Hello Tristan,

Please find my comments on your v6 and additional comment below.

Can you please show some results/plots to support that you mentioned 
here "seems consistent with the existing measurement"?

Slide19:
_ "Evidence of a non-zero v_2^ch jet in a medium sized system!" -> 
"Indication of non-zero v_2^ch jet with R=0.2 in Isobar collisions at 
RHIC"

_ "In general agreement with…ALICE Pb+Pb vch jet 2…Despite the very 
different system kinematics"
-> "STAR Preliminary results hint the same v2^ch_jet with ALICE"
And make the following two sub bullets
1. Despite different jet pT range and collision system
2. Further systematic study is ongoing

Slide20:
_I think this slide is unnecessary and you can put in backup. But it is 
up to you if you want to have more discuss on your results at this 
preliminary stage.

Slide21 conclusion slide:
This slide should conclude your results as I mention in Slide19


Cheers
Nihar
