PWG: Spin/ColdQCD
PAs: Zilong Chang, Renee Fatemi, Carl Gagliardi, Suvarna Ramachandran

- Summary from the conveners' panel (5’)

2. PWG feedbacks on Run14 AuAu200 noHFT picoDst
JetCorr: raw ADC for all towers, 
HF: 
S&C keeps time line

3. Embedding - Xianglei
1) Run16AuAu200 pi/K/p by HF - 1 week.
2) Run16AuAu200 Upsilon->dimuon by HF, 1.5M, - 2 weeks.
3) Run14AuAu200 pi noHFT by JetCorr, 2M - 2 weeks.
4) BulkCorr
Roli's requests, in total 1M 0-20% central AuAu 200 GeV events, 2 weeks.
Toshihiro's request, 
20180506, 2.5M with 1.2M central, complicated setups, 3-4 weeks
20180507, 3M central, 4-5 weeks
Nalinda's request, 2M min.bias AuAu200 GeV, 2 weeks

In considering the limitation of DB servers at PDSF/Cori that we can not run too many jobs in parallel (1000 jobs at most). We will try to update the embedding framework to overcome the DB limitations, 
but this will also need time and the improvement is uncertain.

1) picoDst code status update - Grigory

2) picoDst production priority 
http://www.star.bnl.gov/HyperNews-star/protected/get/starpwgc/4431.html
picoDst reproduction:
HF: Run16 dAu200 st_physics for QM (with looser vtz cut)
HF: Run15 pAu200 st_physics and st_ssdmb for QM 
JetCorr: Run14 AuAu200 HT no HFT -> on-hold, waiting for JetCorr/HF PWG QA and confirmation of info
HF: Run16 AuAu200 st_physics

Data production:
Spin: Run17 pp510 st_physics data productionfor better statistics to study the tracking issue) -> ongoing
BulkCorr: Run5 Cu+Cu data reproduction with a modern library for QM -> wait for feedbacks from PA
LFSUPC: Run17 pp510 RP data production a small sample with less than 100M events
LFSUPC: Run14 AuAu200 ZB data with less than 25M events

3) embedding for QM
