STAR Management Meeting

2014-09-19 11:00
2014-09-19 12:30
America/New York
Friday, 19 September 2014
SeeVogh# 100 7671, BNL room 1-189, at 15:00 (GMT), duration : 01:30
Agenda:

1) FMS preshower status (Oleg)

2) town Meeting Recap: cold/hot QCD
  hotQCD and coldQCD jointly recommend 
  EIC as the highest priority for future 
  facility construction. 

3) 2020+ forward upgrade plan/proposal

4) S&T review close-out
    STAR dataset time from data-taken to publication
    S&T committee is concerned about this.
    Both Elke (spin) and I (HI/STAR) were asked to present this in
    two different sessions.
    Three action items:
    I) HFT operation for next two runs 
       continue communications to DOE
    ii) detail document of data-taking efficiency and improvements
        (5 most important factors)
    iii) detail (RCF) computing plan/optimization up to 2018

5) pA beam energy
   should pA CM energy be same as pp or proton beam energies same?

Discrepancy between data and MC in background estimation -- II

We have noted that the discrepancy between data and embedding has lumnosity dependence.

Jet Meeting Summary for Spin-PWG (September 18, 2014)

 

Fluxes 2013 pp510, 2014 AuAu200, 2014 He3Au200, 2014 pAu200, 2014 pp200, and 2014 pp510 collision.

 I have created a table with R and Z distribution for flux of neutrons, charged hadrons, electrons and gammas for diffrent collision for STAR geometries 2013 and 2014.
