NOTES

2) Production and embedding status

3) StRefMultCorr definition for 19.6 GeV is now ready in DEV. Trigger inefficiency correction for isobar is also updated.

• Path on DEV: /afs/rhic.bnl.gov/star/packages/DEV/StRoot/StRefMultCorr
• Example macro: /star/u/gnigmat/soft/u/refMultCorr/checkStRefMultCorr.C
• Bad run and pileup rejection need to be done explicitly by analyzers by calling functions in StRefMultCorr

Conclusions: will work on automating bad run and pileup event rejection within StRefMultCorr after QM

4) New StRefMultCorr maintainer

Conclusions: will follow up on this

5) PWG needs for FCS trigger in Au+Au running (Raghav)
- What triggers need to be prepared, what other running conditions of the detectors are needed, etc.
Conclusions: PWGs should send inputs, which could be no FCS triggers needed, to Raghav over the weekend

AOB:
- For some institutions, a large fraction of their disk quote on RCF is not used, while for some other institutions disk space is critically needed. Will look into if it is possible to utilize those unused disk space. 
- No PWGC meeting for the next three weeks due to pre-QM meeting and QM conference

2) Physics analyses that need eTOF critically in 2023+25
Conclusions:
- Will check with the eTOF group to see if there is any potential occupancy issue in central Au+Au collisions. Conveners will also bring up this topic for discussion in next week's PWG meeting. 
- Suggestion: would be good to produce a small sample of MB Au+Au data shortly after the run ends in 2023 to study eTOF and forward upgrade performance, providing critical inputs for Run25 BUR

3) BES-II data QA and centrality calibration (LIST OF HELPERS)
Conclusions: given 7 collider and 16 FXT datasets from BES-II, lots of helpers are needed to do Run QA and centrality calibration. Please solicit volunteers from PWGs

4) Possible merging of JetCorr and HF PWGs
Conclusions: JetCorr and HF PWGs received more comments from active PIs, and they were all supportive of the idea

NOTES

2) eTOF needs for 2023+25
Conclusions:
- LFSUPC: useful for light nuclei fixed-target program, but not critical as the lost efficiency could be made up by recording more statistics
- FCV: not critically needed
- CF: not critically needed. Will try to gather more inputs. 

3) Analysis meeting June 22-24, 9-11 am BNL time
Conclusions:
- no conflicts we are aware of at the moment
- Plenary sessions only
- Up to each PWG to decide if/when/how to organize parallel sessions beforetime

- Inputs on agenda are welcome

4) Are these embedding requests still needed?

• 20180201: He3 in AuAu 39 GeV, reproduction
• 20185201, rh0, f0, f2, omega, eta in Run17 AuAu 54 GeV
• 20203002, Ks/Lambda/AntiLambda in Run14 AuAu200 GeV HFT
• 20203003, pentaquark in Run14 AuAu 200 GeV HFT

Conclusions: LFSUPC PWG brought this up for discussion several times during the weekly meeting, but no response. The decision is to remove these embedding request from to-do list until further notice

AOB:
- Check the needs and status of analyses promised for sQM
- A rehearsal for the sQM plenary talk will be scheduled
