Ciao Elena, Roberta, Torsten,

your chapter is very nice! congratulations.

Here are my comments for the first part.

I will send the rest at the beginning of next week.

ciao
Andrea

——

general: I think we should put the paper references in all figure captions, especially for data

945: expected -> I would described it as a fact not as an expectation

945: sqrtsNN

947: rm “just”

949: *in* high

957: target -> environment? or just “in nuclei”

959: "nuclear medium” -> maybe specify “with the partons of the crossing nuclei” ?

962: also here “nuclear medium” -> “crossing nuclei”?

967: I think “acceptance corrected” is not needed (btw it is corrected also for eff)

968: in OHF chapter we used N instead of Y, ie RAA= dNdpT/ …  

971: rm “Jpsi”

Here it may be useful to mention that RAA is studied also as a function of pT and y; and v2 could also be mentioned

985: rm “now”

989: refer to chapter on pp

996: rm “pT”

Table 4: define “DY”

Fig 25: add PbPb in the caption; why is the ALICE Y band and forward y not filled? I wonder if we can “claim” that CMS can go to pt=0 in PbPb for forward Jpsi…  

1007: This chapter is organized as follows. First …

1014: concentrate on LHC -> true? all RHIC results are shown

1019: To -> The

1024: rm “our overview” 

1027: put “lattice QCD” in the title?

1031: define colour screening radius? define quarkonium radius?

table 3: “exp. mass” -> what is exp.?  add ref in caption

1038: why “muon pairs”? maybe this needs a sentence of introduction to define the spectral function and the invariant mass etc…

1039: x and q are not defined, omega is not defined

1043-45: this could go before 1038

1050: define tau; [omega) -> (omega)

1054: simple recipe -> colloquial 

1058: The devi is in the details …  Why?  -> colloquial, not ok for a review

1059: rm “us”

1067: HotQCD ?

1075: energy density -> isn’t it more appropriate to say “temperature”

1076: one encounters feeddown -> colloquial

should B decays also be mentioned here?

Fig 26: add reference 

3.2.2: in my opinion this part could be merged with corresponding section prepared by Ramona for the CNM chapter, 
because it deals with CNM only and it repeats many things (eg CEM formula, parameter choices etc..). in addition it is interesting
to see a direct comparison of shadowing in pPb and PbPb, by having the figures in consecutive pages

1098: flavo*u*r

fig 27: add sqrtsNN in caption and refs for EPS09 and Ramona calculations

1117 ref for EPS09

1140: rm “we remark”

1154: elements -> element

fig 28-29: sqrtsNN and add that this is for Jpsi (?)

1173: put “statistical” in the title? it only describes that approach

1187: refer to sec 3.2.1

1192: *mass* spectrum?

1213-1223: not ideal to describe the data “in words” before they are shown -> can this part be moved to the description of the model comparison to data?

1228 ref to next section 3.2.4

1233: define tau and r

fig 30: V,U,F are defined only later

1281: DDbar in mathrm

1284: define or cite “blast wave”

1286: (see

1287: p_{\rm T}

1296: maybe use GeV for SPS and RHIC

1304: and TeV for LHC :)

1311: lose -> loss

1311: maybe use r and tau instead of x and t, like for TAMU

1315: I think this is the first time “regeneration” is mentioned in this section. “formation” is used in 1238, but maybe it’s better to say explicitely at the beginning that in these models regeneration is considered

1327: rm “the more and more … regeneration”

1330: I think the charm quarks do not need to be “thermalized” to have a v2

1331: it is not explained by which mechanism primomordial Jpsi would acquire a path length dependence? is it because the dissociation probability depends on the path length?

fig 32: maybe it would be intersting to show also RAA for the same model

1345: remove “first and second order” (what does it mean?)

1349: non-equilibrium (anisotropic) rates for quarkonium decays -> what does it mean? it sounds quite cryptic to me

1352: rule -> role

1352: what is the in-medium decay rate?  rate=probability?

1360: reference needed for eta/s value

1360-62: move to section with data-model comparison?

1379: comover interaction model -> it is not described? is it in the CNM chapter?
