Hello Nihar

I do not think the last bin would cause the different I_AA shown in Fig. 28, 
since its yield is very very small compared to other dphi bins. The other 
bins closer to pi dominate recoil jet yields in pp and AA, and thus I_AA. 

Yes, indeed we discussed about the upper and lower limits before. Sorry, I 
forgot about the details. From your response, do you mean "For upper limit 
case, we take upper bound AuAu and lower bound of pp in IAA calculation"? I 
could not find any details in the AN. 

THanks.
