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

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:

Open Questions

Do we support multiple networks on single switches with VLANs, switch port segmentation or other means?  For instance, at remote spots, like PMD’s racks, can we put in a single switch an

Plan of action / critical path items

I think we need to start from the core and work outwards.  This will allow us to finish as much as possible before the run starts and start to see the most benefits as early as possible.

Core components

There are several “core” pieces currently.  Core is defined somewhat vaguely as connecting lots of devices or requiring relatively high performance:
