Hi Priyanka,

I have questions on your purity correction. 

- Why does your correlation function have no statistical uncertainties before the purity correction and has sizable uncertainties after the correction ?  Also the plot says D0-pi pairs but I thought you wanted to approve the D0-K correlation function. I'm a bit confused here.  Also, I don't see any uncertainties on your kaon purity plot, so I don't understand how it can influence your statistical uncertainty.

Kaon purity: 

- how 3% uncertainty was evaluated here, I would expect that in the overlap region, at ~0.6-0.8, the sys. unc. is be large .

- The purity is up to 1 GeV/c, what do you assume for the higher pT range ? 

- And as far as I understand you use average. But do you know what Kaon pT dominates your sample ? Do you have any Kaon pT selection in the data analyses ? 

- How do you have 10% on the pair purity ? 

Physics message. I would say that the data are consistent with no correlation, rather than with any of these pp models. 

Also, you make a conclusion on the correlation source size. But do we know that the correlation function is not modified in HI compared to pp ? 

Cheers,

Barbara

Subject: Preliminary figure request for D0-K femtoscopic correlation

Dear Convenors,

I have submitted a request for preliminary label on my D0-K correlation function. My slides are here https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/system/files/QM_proposal_PreliReq_Priyanka.pdf

I updated the poster with the same figure as "fig 10" on my submitted poster draft. I will upload the new version of the poster ASAP.

Regards,

Priyanka
