Recent simulation studies in the EEMC and BEMC
List of small, almost trivial, problems with the Monte Carlo
1. Density of polystyrene is 1.032 g/cm^3. PDB quotes 1.06.
===> bicron has density of 1.032 g/cm^3... so that's where it comes from.

3) AOB
* --====================================================================--*
Brief Summary: 0) Attendency: Olga, Jerome, Jamie, Flemming, Helen, Xin, Nu, Bedanga
1) NPE issues: (i) The management feels there more issues to be addressed by the task force. Based on the discussion and Huan's report at the last
Analysis Meeting, the management will send a note to the task force. A list of specific checks will be included in the note. (ii) WIll send a message to
Editor at PRL regarding STAR paper "Charmed hadron production at low transverse momentum in Au+Au collisions at RHIC" submitted on May
4th, 2008, 0805.0364. Inform the Editor that we are doing internal cross-checks and the process may take sometime to complete.
2) S&T review issues: (i) Timely funding and scheduling for R&D at RHIC. RHIC performance for polarized pp collisions, we will request 30 cryo-weeks for
future runs; (ii) TPC: operation team including software issue. Jim should be part of the solution; (iii) FTPC team: A student from India group (VECC),
with the help of Terry, J. Syboth and P. Syboth; (iv) Future upgrade scheduling and integrations.
3) QM09 Proceedigns: potential issues with the eta/s analysis (BulkCorr) and Jet reconstruction (JetCorr).

Correlating ZDC A_N with Central Detectors
Abstract
We want to see if the large A_N we observe in the ZDC at 500 GeV has any correlation with how "busy" the central event is.
