1/ Reviews of the four original topics that were put forward in the proposal (nPDF, light-by-light, open HF and quarkonia), to gauge the need for combinations.
2/ Gather the tons of (other) ideas you will propose!
Attendance: about 35 connections on vidyo, 13 people in the room
Next meetings: Feb 25th, Mar 31st, Apr 28th...
Any theorist interested in joining?
Do we also foresee publications for technical aspects? We could, if the added value is worth being published…
Should we define similar binning? Depends if we can anticipate, or not.
It would help to have similar definitions for basic quantities and try to provide measurements in function of the same observables...
Possible: Would be nice to provide summary plots of key published measurements with the four LHC experiments covering the different areas of momentum and rapidity, as done in the past by the QWG.
Message: Overall, it is difficult to provide a unified answer to these generic questions, TBD on a case by case basis, with agility…
Fact: nPDF makers already have tools to combine different measurements
Action: ask them if they want something from us?
Action: should first compare quantitatively the existing results, in particular the high statistics?
Possible: would we gain in combining the lower statistics signals, e.g. Z or W bosons in the forward region from LHCb and Alice?
Large kinematical overlap between experiments
Possible: Total cross section of charm
Possible: Pseudo-rapidty dependences
Possible: Baryon/meson ratio, would be nice from LHCb
Possible: Open beauty > LUT from the theory?
Action: Review the multiplicity definition (more generic)
Possible: Upsilons, a nice combination paper for run 3? Intriguing comparison btw ATLAS and CMS, to be followed up…
Message: Make the comparison or combination on yields and cross-sections, not RAA.
Iwona, post meeting: some comparisons on yields are available as part of the ATLAS preliminary analysis (e.g. Fig. 5a, 5b): https://atlas.web.cern.ch/Atlas/GROUPS/PHYSICS/CONFNOTES/ATLAS-CONF-2019-054/
Possible: Light-by-light, ATLAS+CMS, TBD…
Action: help to popularize the top quark studies
Possible: X(3872) ?
Possible: Jets ?
Possible: nPDF from UPC ?
