Hello Rongrong,

If I am not wrong, I think the jet sub structure measurement in BUR was 
for pp, not heavy ion. Is not that?
But one can still use BHT1 trigger for those measurements.

However, As Carl mentioned in his email, we have also plan for Upsilon 
measurement. Then can’t we use lower threshold trigger for the Upsilon 
measurement? Just asking to know being a non expert.
