 Agenda: 

1) run 17 and run 18 
    see my email to the BUR committee and Council 
    what is the strategy here? 
    Default run 17 cryo-weeks are still: 
    24, 19 (baseline) and 15 
    default run 18 weeks: 10 physics weeks 

2) discussed action items: 
   a) pp510 luminosity 
   b) Roman Pot physics projections 
   c) dileptons in Isobar 
   d) 27 GeV or others? 

3) detectors/upgrades needed for these programs

A look on Run16 Au+Au 200 GeV space charge

Lumonisity has been kept approximately constant throughout fills in run16. We were wondering if the space charge has a strong intensity depedence.

Vertex Matching in Run12 pp500 Embedding

In order to test the performance of the PPV with default parameters (nFit/nPoss = 0.7 and dcaR < 3), I produced a small test sample of 200 events in each of four partonic pT bins for three groups o
