STAR HardProbes PWG

["Mooney, Isaac" <isaac.mooney AT yale.edu>]

Hi Wei,

The slides look great already. I have a few minor comments for you, below.

Thanks,
Isaac

1. I think HF Quarkonia is redundant. as quarkonia refers only to heavy 
quark-antiquark bound states. So recommend "Quarkonia Physics at STAR" for 
the title.

3. "Quarkonia"

4. It might be nice to explicitly point out that dissociation mentioned on 
the left would lead to a lower R_AA at the same pT.

6. "Muon"

8. "No significant"

10.
        It's not clear in the first bullet what trend you're referring to.
        This is entirely up to you, but I think it might be nice to flip the 
order of this section around a bit, so current s. 10 moves up before s. 8. 
This then connects a bit better to s. 7 with the plot of the inclusive J/psi 
RAA across sqrt(s_NN) filling in these three energies. The conclusion here is 
that there isn't a significant energy dependence. In my opinion it would be 
interesting rhetorically to say "but wait, this is pT-inclusive -- what 
happens if we get more differential?" then show that there are hints that the 
higher-pT is less suppressed at these lower energies than 200 GeV, which 
leaves the audience with this interesting question rather than thinking "okay 
so not much to see here in terms of energy dependence". In this structuring, 
you would finish this part with the current s. 9, then introduce the isobar 
dataset with current s. 11, then it would probably make the most sense to go 
to current s. 13 and basically show that isobar can span much of this range 
you showed earlier, with very high precision, and shows no system size 
dependence, and finally just as before you can finish this section with the 
pT-dependent RAA (current s. 12) to get more differential. Again, your choice 
how you want to present it, but I think this would be a compelling way to do 
it.

18. I don't know if you really need to explicitly write the third bullet 
here. It's already obvious from the plot, and you were careful in your 
wording in the second bullet so that you're making a claim only where it's 
possible to do so.

25. You also demonstrate that there is no significant collision system size 
dependence of the J/psi RAA with the isobar and CuCu comparison to AuAu, 
which should be highlighted here as well.
