STAR task force for tuning PYTHIA

[Matthew Kelsey <mkelsey AT wayne.edu>]

Hi all,

I have linked my discussion slides to the Drupal page here: 
drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/system/files/Kelsey_Pythia8Tune_2June2021.pdf

Some points I wanted to send around for more input:

-We will have some discussions with our PYTHIA contacts June 16, 10 AM BNL 
time (I will circulate connection details). Also next week we will try to 
have discussion within cold QCD group.

-In my slides I’ve outline a few conclusions/open questions of our studies 
that we should bring up outside the task force meetings. Regarding the 
discrepancy with the jet spectra @ 200/510 GeV, it might be difficult to 
evaluate our tune performance at 510 GeV with the jet spectra alone until we 
understand what’s going on. This point I think we should really try to look 
deeper into. 

-Note I’ve set up a RIVET analysis for Z0->ee at 510 GeV, but it still needs 
some debugging, but I think this would be good for us to add to our RIVET 
list. I could use a second opinion on my RIVET code, so if someone can help 
take a look please let me know. 

-One final point is Professor is now installed on RCF. There is still a 
little work to get our work flow running on RCF, but I want to try and set 
this up for others to run the tuning package. I will follow up on Mattermost 
for those interested in helping here.

Please let me know if there are comments on these various items and let’s try 
to discuss in more detail next week. 

Cheers,
Matt
