STAR HardProbes PWG

[Barbara Trzeciak <barbara.trzeciak AT gmail.com>]

Hi Andrew,

nice slides, please see my comments below.

- s5,6: increase text size of the bullet points.

- s8-9: label the left plots Pythia and add the version. I would also suggest adding on the top of the plots a bigger label with the jet pT information. Right now it's hidden in the "Parameters", so it might not be so obvious to everyone that moving to STAR energy means lowering the jet pT range. 

- s14: pp Run12 -> add energy and centrality

- s15: to address Sooraj's concerns, which I also share, I would propose to remove "PYTHIA 6" and "GEANT" points and leave the raw detector level data distributions. What do you think?

Sooraj, would that work for you ?

Cheers,

Barbara

Hi Andrew,

   Are you referring to the plots of S9/10 as performance plots? >From your S15, comparing PYTHIA and GEANT, the detector effects seem to be small. So I have a concern that we will be in effect showing the data as preliminary results. I believe you are not ready to release the results without the systematics and unfolding done. So I would suggest not to show data points for the energy correlator, rather some other performance plots that would indicate your progress and STAR's ability to do the measurements. Let me know what you think

thanks

Hello Tamis,

It is a good study on this new observable.
AFA Pythia study is concern, I don't have any comments.
I have some minor comments on your data analysis slides.

_ Before SLide14, you could introduce STAR detector system and what are
the detectors you plan to use for your measurement? A short intro is
sufficient.

Slide14:
_ pp Run12 -> pp sqrt(s)=200 GeV (year 2012)
_Trigger - JP2 -> As no one know what is JP2, so it would be good to
mention "Jet patch trigger" (here 2 is not necessary for outside world
as you describe details about this trigger in sub-bullet)
_ Constituent PT ->  Constituent Transverse momentum, p_{T}
_Official Embedding, PYTHIA 6  -> PYTHIA6+STAR Géant simulation

Slide15:
_ Please include "pp sqrt(s) =200 GeV" as legend
_ Detector level data retains trends in jet momentum selection ->
Detector level data retains trends in jet p_{T} selection

Slide16:
_Interesting behavior in response to pT cuts -> PYTHIA6 simulation: EEC
shows a dependence on jet p_{T}
_Robust to pT-independent tracking efficiency effects -> should we say
this a "robust" or "mild" "negligible" pT-dependent ?
    We have not checked yet with pT-dependent tracking efficiency.
(Slide13)
_ last two bullets "Detector-Level measurement done in STAR p+p run 12 
and Unfolding in progress " I would just say combining "First
measurement of ECC in pp sqrt(s)=200 GeV is in progress in STAR"


Cheers
Nihar
