Start: 2013-08-19 13:00

End: 2013-08-19 14:00

Timezone: America/New York

Monday, 19 August 2013
SeeVogh 15 9119 (1-2PM), at 17:00 (GMT), duration : 01:00

Agenda:

1. Physics plots:
Need to put in the plots for all physics cases.

a) DVCS update:

https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/system/files/yezhenyu_eSTAR_20130819.pdf

suggestions from the meeting: Double-angle method (DAM) needs angle resolution,
the suggestion is to remove it from the mix, and also study resolution effect with 1cm/200cm angular resolution
on photons.

2. eSTAR LoI Draft:

https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/node/27990

Section I, IV, V, VI have first-version drafts there,
by the end of this week, will have all sections. (Thanks!!!)

3. FCS simulation update (Yuxi Pan)

https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/blog/yuxip/2013/aug/11/estar-meeting-08122013-fcs-hadron-energy-resolutions

The 2 plots at the bottom indicates the pseudorapidty dependence of single pi- energy resolutions.

I'd like to talked about what we've done for the e/h discriminations.

https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/blog/yuxip/2013/aug/18/estar-meeting-08192013-fcs-electronhadron-discrimination

Timezone: America/New York

Monday, 5 August 2013
SeeVogh 15 9119 (1-2PM), at 17:00 (GMT), duration : 01:00

Agenda:

1) updates on physics cases and plots

2) draft writing section discussions
i) introductions
ii) science cases and performances
iii) Detector configuration and components
a) eSTAR mechanic drawing (John Scheblein)
  https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/system/files/eSTAR_mechanics_v0.pdf
very first version, need a few fixes,
TRD between ETOF and TPC in east;
BSO (crystal calorimeter) need to extend deeper into IR;
any other suggestions? colors?
this should be compared to what we have now:
  https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/system/files/STAR_geometry_2013.pdf

b) eSTAR geant geometry drawing (Katarina Gajdosova)
Jaro's student works on eSTAR geometry from geant Jason created:
https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/system/files/eSTAR4_geant_geometry.png
Looks good, need to zoom out more to see the FCS,
in geant geometry, we don't have forward tracking or BSO.
         news this morning with FCS

https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/system/files/eSTAR-fsce2.png

iv) simulations
v) R&D activities and future options
vi) collaboration evolution

3) pp500 jet in FCS study (Renee)
