I'm using Jan's Algo ver 4.1 with a few modifications to look into the idea Scott suggested of sorting events by placing conditions on the away side to get an estimate of the background. Here

* --====================================================================--*

Brief Summary:

0) Attendency: Bernd, Bill, Jerome, Flemming, Nu, Bedanga, Olga, Helen.

1) WAH activities: (i) TPC supporting structures worked! (ii) ShowerMAx fues are changed/tested.

2) MOU task force: nothing happened since last Friday. Will start the process this week, - Nu

3) Run8 data process, h+/h- differences: before run8, charged hadrons are averaged, h=(h+ + h-)/2; Waiting for run9 preliminary results (in two weeks); possible workshop focused on the issues; precising calibration procedure(s), automake the process;

4) Conveners

5) STC: a message to the management from Nu
