 Agenda: 

1) shut-down schedule and progress 

2) preparation for run 17, 
    FMS+preshower+postshower 
    run plan (when do we tell collaboration for shift sign-up?) 

3) Analysis Meeting preparation and program 

4) Upgrade status 
    iTPC, EPD, eTOF and Forward 

5) production (next week item?) 

6) newletter items 

    many people try to identify a period with highlights or theme at RHIC:
   heavy ions at STAR :
 
   2000-2005 QGP discovery (strong flow and high-pt hadron suppression) 
   2005-2010 quantifying QGP observables (eta/s, NCQ scaling, jets and correlations)
   2010-2014 BES-I 
   2014-2018 unseen (deconfined) heavy quarks and underlying symmetries (chiral phase transition) 
   2018-2020 BES-II 
   2020+        quantifying longitudinal dynamics, heavy quark diffusion and phase transition 

   Spin at STAR 
   2000-2004  observation of large transverse spin in the forward 
   2005-2010  accumulation of luminosity for Gluon and Sea Quark spin measurements 
   2010-2015  Non-zero gluon spin contribution and Sea Quark Spin contribution
   2015-2019  Sign Change and polarized pA 
   2020+         nPDF (DY) and low-x Gluon

FMS Radiation Damage Simulations

 This entry gives a look at the first stages of modeling radiation damage in geant. It assumes damage is based on energy deposition, and fits to a guassian shape.
