We repeated the D0 analysis (the one among D analyses with the highest statistical precision) splitting it in positive and negative η. The comparison with respect the full η analysis does not show any “visible” effect.

Some tension in the bin 1-2 but most probaly is a statistical fluctuation

The final RAA in all the 3 cases looks well compatible. Some fluctuation at high pT but it may well be due to the very large stastistical error

Preliminary requests

We would remove the D* in 1-2 GeV/c from the preliminary since the efficiency is <10^-3. We aim to work on it for the final.

We would remove the Ds in 2-4 GeV/c from the preliminary due to yield extraction not stable, efficiencies very low as well as S/B. We aim to work on it for the final.

2 mass plots for Ds (low and high pt)

Conclusions

Signal extracted in the range 1-36 GeV/c for D0, 2(1)-36 GeV/c for D*+ and D+ and 2-16 GeV/c for Ds

good agreement data-MC for width and position in the whole pT range

Systematic evaluated. Improvment up to factor 2 for all the D mesons.Small refiment needed for D*+ tracking systematic. Ready in 2-3 days, the difference, if any, will not modify the physics message (most probably invisible by eye)

dN/dpT and RAA evaluated for all the 4 D meson species. Results are (very close to) final. Minor

D meson ratios evaluated

NOTE: in addition we aim to prepare the “average” D mesons RAA (D0, D+ and D*+). It imply just running one macro since the procedure is exactly the same as for the run I papers
