STAR HardProbes PWG

[Rosi Reed <rosijreed AT lehigh.edu>]

Hi Nihar,

Thanks for your comments - I will let the others address them.  I just wanted to push back on your reluctance to state O+O explicitly.  There is always some back and forth on productions, but the STAR software team is good and already a new production with the fixes is being pushed out.  It's only April, the conference is in September.  While that's not a tremendous amount of time, it's also not a short while.  We will be able to show something from O+O - even if it is only performance plots.  But I believe we'll be able to show some physics results, especially given the reduction in the background from the smaller size.  One of the nice aspects of the proposed analyses is that they are essentially ratios, and thus we dont' need to determine an absolute cross-section or any of the other difficult pieces that some analyses require.  In any case, I think having O+O in the abstract will drastically increase the chance that this abstract will be chosen for a talk given the huge community interest.  I don't think this is a particularly aggressive schedule, it would be a shame to remove this statement and have the abstract itself overlooked.

Cheers,

Rosi

Hello Isaac, Tristan, Rosi, Nihar, Subhash:

Please find my overall comments on your nice abstract.
I understand this is a bit complicated to write a coherent abstract for
these multiple observables.

Let me try to attempt shortening the abstract and cohere the physics
messages.

_Title needs some work.
1. It doesn't cover jet v1 and v2 information
2. "High-pT yield modification" doesn't make sense. something like 
"modification of high-pt hadron yield"
How about?
"Measurement of high-pt hadron yield suppression and jet anisotropy in
heavy-ion collisions at STAR"

_ Abstract needs to be concise; introduction about jet and jet-quenching
can be avoided for QM abstract.
everyone knows.
For example, line6-11 intro about jet and jet-quenching are not needed.
We can directly use jet and the phrase jet-medium interaction here to
make it concise.
Can you please make another try?

_  (smaller O+O) -> not sure if we could show (or approve as STAR
preliminary for) at QM2023 due to some ongoing discussion on this
nascent O+O production.  I would prefer not to mention explicitly,
better to mention as "relatively smaller system". If we could have
results by then, we can include it in the presentation that should not
be a problem.

_ "In a larger system, we can test  whether the system-size independence
of v1 observed previously by STAR also holds for jets. "
-> I would drop this sentence. This is a secondary point of the
motivation and not necessary to explicitly mention in this long
abstract. We can make the statement in the presentation.

_ "Studying jet v2 … dependent quenching effects and the effects which
give rise to anisotropies in even smaller p+A systems. "
   -> "Studying jet v2 …. dependent quenching effects and the effects."
We don't to have any discussion related to p+A system because we don't
plan to present any p+A anisotropy results. And such discussion can be
done in the presentation.


Cheers
Nihar
