FMS pi^{0} - EEMC jet-like cluster correlations. Comparison of dAu and pAu results with 600MeV EEMC tower threshold with pp with 400MeV(or 500MeV) EEMC tower threshold.

The pedestal of pp result is comparable with pAu and dAu, but the integral of pp is two times of the integral of dAu and pAu. The larger correlation peak in pp is caused by the lower threshold in pp data. We do not get a resonable comparable peak integral between pp and dAu(or dAu). The width decreases as tower threshold increases, so we would expect a width difference if the integral between pp and dAu(or pAu) is comparable, but the cut is hard to realize this. So we would keep the same tower threshold for pp and dAu( or pAu).
