Looking at non-gaussianity in the vernier scan
The basic issue is that the vernier scan fit doesn't seem to agree with the rough calculation that comes from using the rates from the trigger details page.

Impact of the BSMD DB bug on the pi0 cross section in p+p 2005 data
1. To estimate the effect of the recently discovered bug in the status code on the pi0 cross section in 2005 p+p data, I propose the following case study.
z-dependence in vernier scan calculations
In trying to account for the discrepancy between the quick method and the vernier scan method of producing the BHT3 cross section, I've written out some of the z-dependence in the equations.

Beta Gamma+Jet Finder Code

What does it do:
Shift sign-up addtitional functional requirements for FY10
General
The shift sign-up was revamped following the description of changes in STAR Notes PSN0482 : STAR PhoneBook and shift accounting - Definitions and development plan.
Linear Fit of Time Dependency in BEMC Gains
To better characterize the time-dependence in the BEMC in 2006, we have fit each of the gains versus time data sets for each eta bin with a linear (non-constant) fit.
Efficiency as a function of Eta, Vz
Because of the asymmetric VZ distribution (shifted toward negative VZ) and limited EMC acceptance (west barrel only), there's a moving turn-on for the electron identification
proposed abstract for 2010 APS

FHC pythia mini_bias simulation study 1
For the Zoffset of the FHC is 948cm, I studied the events of the Lambda generated in the 2M pythia mini_bias simulation runs.
code agrees with Angelika for ZDC scaler
My vernier scan analysis code is in pretty much exact agreement with Angelika's, at least for the ZDC scaler cross section:
