STAR HardProbes PWG

[Andrew Tamis <andrew.tamis AT yale.edu>]

Hello Nihar,

Thank you for the nice comments, I have implemented them.

I have also received the theoretical predictions from Kyle Lee at MIT, which was normalized differently than my analysis:  He normalized both the overall integral and x-axis scaling to Delta(R) rather than log_10(DeltaR).  In order to make this comparable, I divided each of my bins by their equivalent length in DeltaR: changing my distribution from d(...)/d(Log_10(DeltaR)) to d(...)/d(DeltaR) and integrated them out to one in that space (Formula Updated on slide 5).  Nothing changed about the analysis except for a scaling at the very end, so this is still the same data.  Now that they are normalized the same way, I have included the comparisons with Kyle's theory calculations, normalizing his to the same area as mine within the region that they are plotted.

I have updated my plots and uploaded them to drupal here: Preliminary Plots for Energy-Energy Correlator Measurement in p+p Run12 | The STAR experiment (bnl.gov)

Slide 5->6:  The lines are placed by eye, In this talk I have defined the DeltaR_Turnover as the leftmost edge of the bin which breaks the linear scaling behavior seen in the hadronization region.  My previous slides were inconsistent about this, so I have corrected them.  Because this region has some width there are other ways to calculate this, but I show that if one is consistent in a definition, the calculation will yield a value in the same order of magnitude for a given jet pT.  The 3.6GeV isn't a set value, just showing that they are all of similar scale: so I have changed this to "2 to 3GeV" to make it less of a strong statement than asserting a value.  This value is smaller because I changed the calculation from using average pT to the lower pT bound, which the scheme that the theoretical calculations I received followed.

Slide 9->11: I rephrased the sentence to say what they mean, leaving the abbreviations out, let me know if this works.

Slide 10->12:  I rephrased it to "do not need to correct in addition to pT_Jet"

Slide 17->18: The geometric cutoff is due to it becoming more difficult to fit two particles into the cone once the deltaR reaches the jet radius, so an increased jet R allows for the measurement to push into larger deltaR, where we see the quark/gluon region continue.

Best,

Andrew

Hello Andrew,

Please find my comments on your nice presentation below.
___________
General comment/suggestion to all HP2023 and DIS2023 presenters:
1. Please make a Drupal page for all your preliminary plots and provide
us the link.
If you have already done that, please send us the link.

2. While preparing your analysis plots for "STAR preliminary" request,
please follow the guidance 1-7:
https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/pwg/common/Preliminary-figures
It saves our time.
_________

SLide:-2
t_f : mention "formation time"

SLide-5:
In plot:
Legend shows all blue, red, green markers are 15-20 GeV/c jet pT. I
think that is not the case. Please correct it. (Slide6)
As this is a PYTHIA study, I would strongly suggest to use open marker
here.
Because you have used the same marker style while plotting the data.
Otherwise it may confuse the audience.

Each dashed line:
Have you used the _expression_ "Lambda_QCD/jet Pt" to find the value of
Delta_R in the left plot?
If not, can you calculate what is the value if you use "ave jet pT" of
these three cases?

Slide6:
"< 𝑝𝑇 𝐽𝑒𝑡 >*∆𝑅𝑇𝑢𝑟𝑛𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑟 ~ 3.6 GeV" Not clear to me what this "3.6 GeV"
implies here?
Where do you get "DeltaR_turnover"? Have you calculated as I mentioned
above? Or just by eye?

SLide7:
"Experimental Measurment at STAR" -> "STAR detector" (all measurements
are experimental) (same on slide8)
You could show other colorful STAR detector pic.
"Must correct for inefficiencies …" ->"         Must correct for detector
effects…"

Slide9
Mention what is "DeltaR_jet" and "DeltaR_track"?
Both left and right slide, X, Y axis labels are too small. Please
increase the size.
Put Unit on both the axises.

Slide10
Both left and right slide, X, Y axis labels are too small. Please
increase the size.
Put Unit and title on both the axises.

"..do not need to correct additionally to 𝒑𝑻𝑱𝒆𝒕 " -> I this we don't
need correction for EEC but "pTjet range" needs to be corrected. Is not
that?

Slide17:
"quark/gluon region continues longer before geometric cutoff" -> do you
understand why it is so?


Cheers
Nihar
