slide 3-5: run 11 200 GeV data results 
slide 6: real and rotate pair <cos> comparison vs. y 
slides 7-8: folding <cos> 
slide 8-12: initial data scaling (cyan) and intial correction green/cyan vs. y
slides 14-19: data folding with and without eta_k cut 
Cyan data in these plots are from data scaling without Y dependence. They are from our inclusive data scaling we used before QM.

11.5 GeV QA Plots (09/27/23):
drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/system/files/11GeV_QA_Plots.pdf
Have less plots than the other energies, because I didn't run the cos theta bin method at this energy
Also did not make plots of 11.5 GeV /200 GeV, because we ran this energy with more pt bins as a check.
Would require some rebinning and technical work to make those plots
