STAR HardProbes PWG

["Yi Yang" <yiyang429 AT gate.sinica.edu.tw>]

Hi Brennan,

Thanks for the updated version and explanation. 

Before you have the final version of the talk, I have comments/questions on p2 and p3. 

 - p2: I don't understand the comparison to the RAA in heavy-ion collisions here. As you said in the previous page, the main purpose for this study should be to understand the production mechanism, but nuclear modification is different story. I am not sure if it is good way to do it. 

 - p3: It would be nice to provide a physics reason why the old prediction saying the yield is decreasing (what is the mechanism), not just show the plot. Probably you can (or you already have) combine with p5 to give a better explanation. 

Cheers,

Yi

Hi Sooraj also Yi and other leaders,

An updated presentation (this one has red annotation of my accompanying thoughts) is linked below.  Most of the suggestions are implemented, a few that require editing plots are maybe some few hours away, but the slides are converging quickly.

Hi Sooraj, I just sent an update on the main plot that I am requesting preliminary for.  I will send an update on the slides really soon (probably less than an hour).  best,   b

Hi Brennan,

We saw an updated version on drupal now, thanks a lot.
Let me give you a very quick first round of comments.
 - Title: please add "Supported in part by" above the DOE logo, please check other's talk. Also, it would be good to add date of your talk there.
 - p1: I would start with the previous measurements on cross section vs pT and polarization and mention the production mechanism is still an open question. Then, introduce these CSM and COM.
 - p2: Not sure if you need this one, I don't know how you will connect it to your results.
 - p3: Need more description on this page, not sure what you want to say on this early predictions.
 - p4: references are need for this plot.
 - p5: small b^bar --> small impact parameter
 - Move p9 p10 (STAR) before p6.
 - p6: It would be nice to have some parameters showing on the plot, like NJ/psi, width, mean...
 - p7: B.EMCal --> BEMC   (2 places)
 - p8: the quality of the plot is not good, can it be improved? Also, can you make the data plots larger? Not easy to know the inserted plot mean, need some description.
 - p9: Add the abbreviations for each subsystem, like (BEMC), (TOF), (TPC), (BBC), (VPD)
 - p9: Remove the line under Vertex Position Detector
 - p10: add eta ranges for TOF and TPC
 - p11: You have a nice list for systematics sources in your preliminary request, I think it would be nice to add here.
 - p12: Add a title on this page: "Result"
 - p13: Not sure if you need this plot here, it would be better to have a summary, what Barbara sent (PYTHIA predictions) might be useful here.

Cheers,
Yi
