1) Paper preview: Measurement of φ-meson Production in Au+Au Collisions at √sNN= 3.0 GeV
- Brief introduction from the PWG conveners (5’) [Daniel Brandenburg]
- Paper proposal (15')  [Presentation by Guannan Xie]
- Open discussions (35')
- Summary from the conveners' panel (5’)

Proposal page: https://www.star.bnl.gov/protected/heavy/xgn1992/paper/phi3GeV/proposal/

NOTES

2) Organizational news
- Cold QCD
-- Incoming co-convener: Qinghua Xu, Maria Zurek
-- Outgoing co-convener: Carl Gagliardi

- LFSUPC
-- Incoming co-convener: Md. Nasim
-- Outgoing co-convener: Wangmei Zha

3) Agenda for analysis meeting:
 TENTATIVE AGENDA

Conclusions: conveners generally agree with the tentative agenda. 

4) Data production discussions: priority
i) Discussion of production priority for Run19-20 data sets
ii) New request: pp500_production_2013, P14ia, st_physics and st_physics_adc, MuDst
- Run list: /star/u/agibson/2013Pi0s/2020-December-Run13PeriodWishList.txt
iii) Isobar embedding
- Request page: 20201503
- Details:
-- pi+/K+/p and pi-/K-/anti-p/in 200 GeV Run18 Isobar (half Zr+Zr/ half Ru+Ru) MB 
-- Number of events: 14M (5M for each for pi+, pi- and 1M each for K+/K- and proton/antiproton) for pT=[0-5] + 30k (for all particles) for pT=[5-20] GeV
-- which would be a total of 14180000 events. 
-- No split in centrality - embedding in minbias data

Conclusions:
i) Discussions about the production priority are ongoing among interested PWGs
ii) Since the requester might only have manpower in the next two months, it was agreed that the request will be put at a high priority
iii) LFSUPC PWG will check whether the embedding request put forward by the JetCorr satisfies their needs 


5) HLT express production of PicoDst files for Run19 and Run20. What data sets do we want to keep? A complete list can be found here: LIST

Conclusions: it was agreed upon that 10% of each dataset and 100% of a few selected dataset will be kept on RCF. For the latter, a list of such datasets will be proposed by interested PWGs.

1) Centrality issue for high-rate 200 GeV Au+Au data sets SLIDES

Conclusions: Jiangyong presented studies of a potential issue in using refMult or gRefMult as the centrality classifier. The issue arises from low TPC tracking efficiency in high occupancy events, which can artificially shift central events to mid-central centrality class, and so on. This potential issue could be present in all 200 GeV Au+Au data sets beyond 2010. PWGs are suggested to follow up on this issue and assess potential impacts on published and ongoing analyses. 


2) HLT express production of PicoDst files for Run19 and Run20. A complete list can be found here: LIST

Conclusions: for the purpose of establishing codes and exploring new physics, the convener panel suggests to save 10% of all datasets and 100% of a few selected datasets. The latter will be discussed further. 


3) Data production (priority list)
- Daq: Isobar production expected to be finished in ~ two months
- MuDst->PicoDst:  add 2010 AuAu 200 and 2012 UU 193 GeV to the list

Conclusions:
- It was suggested to add some trigger data information to PicoDst files when producing 
2010 AuAu 200 GeV and 2012 UU 193 GeV datasets, as they are needed for some analyses. Analyzers will get in touch with Grigory about what quantities need to be added.  
- LFSUPC, CF and FCV PWGs will revisit the production priority list for Run19-20 BESII datasets

4) Analysis meeting
- Time: January 6-8 (Wed-Fri), 9-11 am BNL time
- Format
-- Jan. 6-7: 8 talks, 30 minute each, for cross-PWG topics
-- Jan 8: PWG reports or highlights of an analysis by a member, 20 minutes each. 

Conclusions: conveners generally agree with the proposed time and format. PAC will work on the agenda. 

5) Feedback
- Efficiency correction issue in off-diagonal cumulants 
- Proton feed-down for BES-I baryon number ratio vs. collision energy

Conclusions: 
- The 
issue in efficiency correction has been understood by the PAs. New correction procedure is developed and presented to PWG. Currently working on the systematic uncertainties. PAs will write an erratum for the paper.
- PAs have done estimating the proton feed-down contribution based on published Lambda spectrum for 39 GeV. They will continue to work on other collision energies. The UC Davis group also started to work on this topic to provide independent cross-check.

6) Upcoming conferences

- production_pAu200_2015, P16id, st_himult, MuDst

Conclusions: new requests will be restored with high priority

4)
 Analysis meeting 
- How about mid December or early January, 2-3 hrs in the morning with plenary session only?

Conclusions: conveners generally support the idea. Will continue discussing the format and date

1) HLT express production of PicoDst files for Run19 and Run20. A complete list can be found here: LIST
- Need discussion: a request of 100T disk space on RCF to host them. Are PWGs interested in analyzing these data?
- They are currently hosted on pwg_task (30T) and HLT machine (70T). The disk space on HLT machine needs to be freed to support 2021 running.
- These data were produced online with sub-optimal calibration, so cannot be used for preliminary or final physics results
- If granted, the 100T likely needs to come from RCF disk space that is currently used for data production. This will mean less buffer space and possibly more interruptions. 

Conclusions: it was suggested by several conveners to keep only a fraction of the express production on disk to be used by analyzers. CFV and CF PWGs will bring up this topic for discussion in their weekly meetings next week. Currently, 30T of such production reside on pwg_task disk (/gpfs01/star/pwg_tasks/tfg02) and can be accessed by analyzers. 

2) Small system event activity meeting: Nov. 10th 10am - 12pm

3) Isobar production has started last week. Run17 pp 510 GeV production paused.

4) Remove data on pwg_tasks 
"2016 AuAu200 FMS miniTree": green light from HF
"2015 Jet ALL embedding private production": feedback from Cold QCD?

Conclusions: "2016 AuAu200 FMS miniTree" will be removed from pwg_task disk. ColdQCD conveners will follow up on the removal of the 2015 Jet ALL private embedding sample.

5) MuDst and PicoDst replacement. Please respond before Nov. 9th.
i) The following old PicoDst production will be replaced with new ones
- AuAu_200_production_2016, P16ij_SL18f, st_physics
- AuAu_200_production_2016, P16ij_SL16j , st_physics 
- AuAu_200_production2_2016, P16ij_SL16j, st_sst, st_nosst 
- AuAu54_production_2017, st_physics, P18ic_SL18c. A slight difference was found between SL18c and SL20c originating from different vertex selection algorithm used: SL18c (Default) vs. SL20c (VpdOrDefault)

ii) Replace MuDst with PicoDst
- AuAu200_production_2011: 92% of PicoDst (SL19c) available on DD
 
Conclusions: no objections raised so far. We will proceed with the replacement and removal starting from Nov. 9th.
