Collaboration comments to v3.0 of Pion HBT paper and responses

Here are the comments from the collaboration to version 3.0 of the pion HBT paper from p+p collisions, and the PA responses:

 

ProductionMinBias : MuKPi QA plots

Following are QA plots (day-by-day basis) of some variables filled in D0Tree :

(up to now only for day 124 to day 150, I will add the others later)

Run3(dAu) - Run6(pp) Run8(pp-dAu) HT-2 data comparison and correlation plots

Some basic plots : Run 3 (dAu) :  HT-2  trigger threshod > 4.5GeV (Id: 2202)

Pi0 and Direct photon cross section in Pythia

Direct photon and Pi0 cross section seems to the very different in different Pythia versions.

BSMD Calibration: Fitting to the Means of Momentum Slices

In order to avoid the problem of gaussian fits to momentum slices giving mean values that were unphysically less than zero, we can instead simply calculate the mean of the ADC values in the slice a
