STAR HardProbes PWG

Hi Brennan,

nice poster. Below are my comments.

Abstract:

√s =200 = √s = 200 (missing space)

Motivation:

- 7x increase in luminosity (~700M events) - I guess here you mean HT triggered data ? It's better then to provide the integrated luminosity 

And I'm trying to understand 7x more. For p+p at 200 GeV we had HT0 (HT2) triggers for the published data, with luminosity of 1.36 (23.5) pb−1. You're using HT1 with 80 pb−1 (600M events) and we also have HT2 for 2017 data with 340 pb−1 (450M events).  How did you get your number ? 

- The Color Octet Model is the currently leading candidate mechanism - I wouldn't fully agree with this. That depends on the pT range. NRQCD (with both color single and color octet) and CEM can reasonably describe cross sections. 

I would just state that we have different models on the market: Color SIngle Model, (CGC+) Non-Relativistic Quantum Chromodynamics and (Improved) Color Evaporation model

Or replace this bullet explaining why production vs multiplicity: constrain model calculations + interplay of soft and hard processes

- vs. event multiplicity -> vs charged-particle multiplicity

The STAR Experiment:

- Electromagnetic Calorimeter -> Barrel Electromagnetic Calorimeter (also BEMC on the STAR picture)

- Why do you specifically mention geometric coverage in eta and phi for TOF, not for the other detectors as well ?

Event Selection:

- Add the trigger threshold in E_T

Particle ID Cuts:

- Define nSigma_e

Signal Extraction:

- Enlarge font of the inv. mass plot . Remove "Mult: 7-8"

- The equations are too small, you can reduce them. 

- unlike-sign pairs -> unlike-sign e^+e- pairs (same for like sign)

Cheers,

Barbara
