The STAR experiment

System for submitting and viewing simulation request was taken down after web server incident. This is still useful information though.

Received some new NLO pQCD predictions from Werner incorporating DSS fragmentation functions.  Here's a comparison of these predictions to the old mocked up ones used in the SPIN 2006 preliminary result:




No really dramatic changes here.  The increased asymmetries might mean that g-g scattering is even more important than predicted originally.  Of course, this goes in the wrong direction if we're looking for better agreement with our Pythia.

I'm attaching two pdfs showing the online QA plots from run 8330100 for the EEMC trig HT input, DSM layer-0 and BEMC trig BEMC DSM LO input - High Tower. Let me know if they look reasonable??

Jan Balewski suggested that I try to determine the BEMC timing curves
from L2 data.  Here is my first attempt from the data Oleg Tsai took a few days
ago:
