1) Summary of HFT embedding tuning and validation - Sooraj Radhakrishnan

  • Tails don't match between data and HIJING for 2016 in the embedding, the impact on D0 analysis is small, but for those relays on DCA template fitting analysis, B->J/psi, D, e for instance, the impact is not small. This issue need to be resolved, but not before QM2018. This issue doesn't exist for 2014 data.

2) Run16 Upsilon reconstruction efficiency - Pengfei Wang

  • slide 2, top-left plot, are the data from the entire dataset? The answer was yes.
  • slide 9, try different function to fit the quote the difference as systematic uncertainty.
  • slide 11, discussed the possible reason why the efficiency from bin-counting is lower than fitting above 2 GeV/c. We agree that fitting method is more reliable. But need to think about the uncertainty to be assigned on the efficiency
