The STAR experiment

Mid-rapidity: -1 < eta < 1

Forward-rapidity 1 < eta < 2

dataset : dAuCombined

1. pi0 is taken as HT clusters  with no charge track in the  tower  with   max energy.

2. charege tracks from TPC

Upper plot (fig 1) shows Ws reconstructed from ~100% of Run9 data with algo ver 4.1 , now using away ET veto.

 FGT Safety Review - Summary provided

My code as written is producing unrealistically small cross sections, so I wanted to explicitly write out the way I'm performing the fit:

Uber-preliminary run9 results

Test of Corrected EEMC geometry: Pion Reconstruction

attached is a file describing suggested bins for Werner Daniel et al

to set up for projected data sets in their global fitting code.

Here is the presentation and a zipfile of documentation, for the electrical aspects of the FGT, to be presented 9/2/2009.

For run 9, BSMD performance was monitored by looking at non-zero-suppressed events.  The code is archived at /star/institutions/mit/wleight/archive/bsmdMonitoring2009/.  This blog page wi
