STAR HardProbes PWG

Hi Monika,

I have a few comments on your well-written slides, below.

Thanks,
Isaac

11. Later in passing you mention the motivation for Collinear Drop (s. 15), 
but since you give the physics motivation for Soft Drop on this slide, it 
would also be good to mention the motivation for Collinear Drop.

14. It would be good to specify the directionality in the second bullet -- 
so, "we move from non-perturbative to perturbative region by increasing Rg" 
or similar.

17. Rather than the transition region shifting with momentum, I would 
emphasize the universality of the transition region when scaled by momentum. 
This contains the information in your current second bullet and adds 
additional information as well.

19. 
        You mention that the data are captured by MC models and theoretical 
predictions, but we've seen for the EEC and similarly for rc, that models 
aren't simultaneously able to describe the distribution of charge information 
within the jets. I think this is nice to point out since it shows that pp is 
not a solved problem -- there is still interesting work to be done. It 
wouldn't need to have its own slide, but maybe a bullet point on s. 17 with a 
citation, and mentioned again on this slide.
        For the outlook to A+A collisions, this makes it seem as if no 
substructure measurements have been done in A+A collisions at STAR yet, but 
e.g. the generalized angularities have a preliminary measurement. Of course, 
you don't need to include every STAR result in your talk, but would be good 
to make it clear that some work has been done already on this.
