The STAR experiment

Agenda:

a) machine and STAR status

b) project for transverse and strategy of switching

c) 18 GeV trigger configuration

Thanks!

Zhangbu

Agenda:

a) machine status

b) STAR status

c) projections

d) remaining issues

Thanks!

Zhangbu

Agenda:

a) Machine status

b) STAR detectors:

   i) FMS
  ii) ZDC, VPD QT 
     Yuhui checked the ZDC gains (ADC) and reported the problem was fixed; 
     VPD?
  iii) EMC
  iv) TPC (frequent 100% deadtime?)
  v) TCU counters and scalers

c) Trigger configuration and optimization
   i) production triggers
      All in "production ID" except HLT
   ii) optimizing trigger rate:
       possible dynamic prescale;
       A few triggers always run at prescale=1: FMSJP2, BHT1,2,3;
       2K trigger rate in total; 
       TPX at 600Hz, FMS at 1400Hz?
   iii) targeted goals and projections

d) remaining tasks: 
   i) HLT status 
  ii) MTD
  iii) low luminosity runs, vernier scans
  iv) other issues

Thanks!

Agenda:

a) Machine Status
    blue Abort Kicker PS fixed, 
    Power Failure today

b) STAR status:

    FMS final configuration?
    luminosity tracker (Jamie)
    http://www.star.bnl.gov/protected/common/common2011/trigger2011/lumi500GeV/tracker.html
    Production configuration
    Polarimetry and scalers

c) remaining issues and to-do list:

   i) TCU counters
  ii) Trigger bits 
  iii) HLT commissioning
  iv) MTD commissioning
   v) Impact on luminosity from collisions at IP2?

Other items?

Thanks!
