1. Irakli, to finilize ALTRO threshould studies. To send a formal conclusion to spokesman. 

Talk here:  http://www.star.bnl.gov/~iraklic/myPresentations/2015-09-23-AltroThresholdOptimization.pdf

2. Hongwei, 2014 AuAu200, Sti versus StiCA comparsion. The progress report.

3. pp510 Sti and StiCA samples. To create these samples it is needed ~2 weeks and ~10 TB.

 Disk space (~10TB) can be  borrowed from pwg_task  for ~3 month. Aihong has contacted Frank. 

4. In October we expect Ivan Kisel and a few students from Frankfurt/GSI to be at BNL.

By this time we need  to prepare the AuAu200 and pp510  samples with KFVertex which will be evaluated by the team.

We also need  MC samples

 a.    AuAu200  (with pile up ?)  

 b.    pp510 with pile up (~10 MHz)

I suggest we discuss the action needed to finish the DOE quarterly requirements, i.e. effeciency with SSD includedin tracking (simulations).
I think we are close but we should discuss what specific plots/actions are needed.

 
-  Updates on DOE preps (see also here last week's doc)
-  Run15 Calibs (see also here last week's meeting)
- AOB

 
Agenda: Updates on items listed in the attached figure.

.

 

1) Embedding

2) Efficiency (re-)evaluations/break-down

3) SSD 

4) AOB [includes DOE meeting recommendations]
