Comparison of 2005 and 2006 dijet cross section evaluations
Matt and Tai sent me values for the di-jet cross sections from 2005 and 2006 data (restricted to 2005 ~acceptance), and from theory. A few quick-and-dirty comparison figures are attached.

Meeting 2 February 2010
Meeting was attended by Alice B, Mike B and Ilya S. We discussed the current status of the filter. A brief summary of action items:
vpdSimMaker
Energy deposition distributions, after the cut 20%*PeakEnergy employed.
BSMD Calibration Update 2/9
Our stats have been expanded to include the whole pp500 dataset (thanks Matt), so the next step is to try to fit the ADC distribution in each momentum slice. At Joe's suggestion I gave up try
Amassed PDFs and E866 Data
I have amassed a large amount of pdf information and put it together in the following plot.
No Significant Correlation between Luminosity and MIPs
After confirming an apparent MIP-position dependency on time, we have now begun to investigate potential causes. Since we know that luminosity has also varied over time, we attempted to disco

FMS simulation
I ran some Pythia simulation together with GSTAR for FMS and here are some of the results. The basic settings for the study are:
1. Pythia 6.222 + GSTAR.
2009 200 GeV QA
The StGammaMaker in dev was over the 2009 200 GeV quality analysis production.
VPD Efficiency Study with PYTHIA Simulations
The purpose of this study is to obtain the VPD efficiency under different physics processes (non-diffractive, double diffractive, single diffractive, and other selected physics events e.g.
