STAR HardProbes PWG

["Robotkova, Monika" <robotmon AT fjfi.cvut.cz>]

Hello Nihar and Isaac,

Thank you very much for your useful comments. I've implemented them. Please see my answers below:

For Isaac:

5.
        I think you want the left parenthesis to be to the right of the 2? Or the right one to be to the right of the D.
        "2D unfolding via Iterative Bayesian procedure"

I would like to keep (2+1)D, it should say that both numbers correspond to the dimension. 

17.
        I know this statement (2nd bullet) was workshopped before Hard Probes, but in coming back to it now and really thinking about it, I have some questions. The claim is that virtuality is reducing faster in the jet shower. I'm not sure I understand this. First, these are all at the same (first) split. Of course, it's possible for that split to be earlier or later in time (or to be at a different point in the shower depending on how many emissions failed the SD criterion). If we use the rough relation that time is inversely proportional to angle, this would give us a later time on average for smaller Rg splits. Now virtuality would be higher for the mu ~ 1 case than the mu ~ 0 case, so if mu -> 0 for Rg ~ 0, a lower-virtuality state has been arrived at but at a later "time" than the Rg >> 0 case. So it doesn't seem conclusive to me that the actual rate of virtuality shedding is any different in these two populations of jets -- it may just be that these splits occur later.
Am I missing something or having a brain-dead moment? I know Raghav was the one who suggested this in that pre-HP email chain, so maybe they could chime in as well.

I'm not sure if I follow your thoughts, so please let me know, but I would say that mu, since this is a fraction of leading daughter to mother, so it should be a rate of virtuality reduction in the jet, so in this case, if mu goes to smaller values, the reduction is faster and vice versa. This is how I understand the statement.

19.     Do you understand what's going on with the bimodal Herwig (and to a lesser extent Pythia6) distribution for high-pT, high-Rg jets? It seems like a significant discrepancy with data, although maybe this is just a statistics issue in the MC which is not apparent because uncertainties aren't shown? I also notice that the Pythia8 cuts off around here, so maybe that's why. Although the data seems not to be stats-limited at all here.

I did not study this region in detail, but MC statistics is really low in this pT and Rg bin, so it should be statistics issue.

For Nihar:

Slide19:
_"we move from non-perturbative to perturbative region" -> this is again a vague statement. Not sure how do you claim this. Because look at my comment slide#2.

I think this comes from the statement before the arrow, that we know for log(kT) > 0 the splitting is more perturbative and for log(kT) < 0 the splitting is more non-perturbative, because when kT corresponds to Lambda_QCD, we can separate perturbative and non-perturbative regions.

Best regards,

Monika

Hello Raghav,

I agree with you. And I would like to correct my statement in the line
you mentioned.

UE and pileup are QCD processes and they contain both p-QCD and np-QCD
processes.

Thank you
Nihar
