0) Flemming perhaps can make a few verbal comments on Run plans.
1) Fl./Hao/Jon. worked hard to synchronize Geant geom/"reality". There are some things to still take care here. Related changes/work was done to PxlDbMaker and downstream software to cleanup, synchronize.
2) Xin/Jon/Hao developed a "masking" scheme of bad elements. I think we agreed to apply this at a level so that applies to both fast/slow simulation cases.
3) Shusu updated and enhanced his QA output. The link to plots is here:
http://www.star.bnl.gov/protected/bulkcorr/sss/HFT_offline_QA/
4) Xin worked successfully in building an offline chain to have a first look at data. He send around a couple of presentations. It may be beneficial to put a few slides together (or post both presentations) for today's meeting.
Hao is organizing the codes in CVS to establish an "official" offline chain that we can use for "productions". This will have our first priority today. Also start thinking on what chain options we need to use to get certain information in the output stream.

but we will try to fill in for them.
0) News from the Run-13 (Fl. etc)
1) Offline chain building (Hao)
2) Automated QA scripts (Fl's request in hftops)
http://www.star.bnl.gov/HyperNews-star/protected/get/hftops/19.html
3) Organizing the run details (Hao's email to hftops). Google docs or ?
http://www.star.bnl.gov/HyperNews-star/protected/get/hftops/21.html
4) Jonathan circulated some slides on the Pxl masking method. Not yet in CVS
http://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/system/files/pxlMaskTables_update.pptx
Mike/Amilkar started on a run scanner program to find/mark the hot rows, col, pixels.
They might have something for today's meeting posted later.
5) I know that Jonathan has been looking at StiPulls and DCA resolutions with tracks
having pxl hits. He is also running simulations to get the reference histos/quantities.
Event vertex resolution of course dominates/shadows track dca but we should be able
to infer something. He is traveling today but will post something soon.
6) I started linking in the subsystem pages Xin's/Fl' plots in the PR section, Shusu QA pages
etc. The coming week I will spend some time to organize our meeting's presentations thematically
in reverse chronological order.

0) The detector is in STAR w/out any damage. The online people started their test program.
1) Hao, Mustafa and Jonathan started on a PxlSlowSim excercise to test the Cluster/Hit code.
This is the real Slowsim, the Digmaps-based wrapper.
2) We have clarified a few things on definitions on coord. system conventions plus identified things
that need to change in code in order to accommodate geometry info like the tracker geometry
and the pxl hit maker (see below).
3) Alignment tests move on with Long, Mike et al.
4) Hao, Shusu and Jonathan will build an 'offline QA' macro to monitor several quantities as we
discussed before. Hao/Jon. will be at BNL next week.
5) In today's drupal site I posted the files discussed or resulted from the Pxl Monday meeting
as an FYI info with an email summarizing some of the items discussed.

2) FGT status: Bernd
3) Transition to eRHIC LOI discussions: All
4) AOB
*--===================================================================--*
II. Brief Summary and action Items:
1) Attandance: Bedanga, Jerome, Carl, Gene, Enst, Bernd, Jamie, Elke, Huan, Flemming, Xin, Zhangbu, Thomas, Nu, Bill
2) Run13 status: HFT installed.
3) FGT performance: Bernd. Disk 1 and 2 performed well, AVP chip problem for disk 3,4,5,6 / The efficiency of working disks is in
the order of 0.9 but fee problem will reduce overall efficiency of the FGT. / FGT is NOT planned for run14, but will be used in run15.
FGT performance in AuAu collisions has not been studied. / reparing of the fee will require funding to MIT / removing FGT from star
need Jason and Ben and requiring funding from BNL. / Software: need to experienced FTE for STV. / Q: Huan, using low lum data to
check the tracking, efficiency, resolutions ...? Low lum run is planned, 15 hrs / Urgetn need manpower fro software / In two weeks,
Bernd will discuss with the management
Huan: move the management meeting to 11am EDT
4) LOI fro transition from RHIC to eRHIC: Q: Zhangbu, who will pay for the eSTAR costs? First we need to establish the concepts of
physics measurements, for ep, eA upto 10 GeV. What physical quantity could be extracted? / Need manpower to run MC and identify
physics observables / Elke: Q^2 coverage and resolutions for eSTAR / Prioroties: what to MC, what to measure, / Clarify the first
paragraph of the charges. / Calorimeters are good for eloss measurement in eA collisions. / Nu will talk to people to form the LOI
committee during the next few weeks.
