- discussion of publication plans Run 9 data publication strategy
- Questions/comments from former prominent STAR collaborator:
- Could the Z-candidates be di-jets? cosmic rays? Do you try to do any charge sign discrimination on the electrons (i.e., opposite sign on the 2 sides for "Z-candidates")? Phi distribution does not appear indicative of cosmics.
- Most importantly, is "Jacobian peak" absent when you look at 200 GeV data with the same algo and cuts?
- Lots of questions, but this does look really promising, seems to give you NN W candidates NN Z candidates in the barrel region. It's a bit surprising that such a crude isolation cut, with no away-side ET upper threshold or SMD criterion, would suppress jet background so effectively. We always thought we would have to work much harder than this to unveil a signal above background.
