The STAR experiment

1) run14 production readiness/preproduction status
     HFT preview production, D0!!! 
     Draft of message to collaboration with more statistics. 
     plans
2) run15 status and strategy 
   a) projections
   b) pp longitudinal extension 
      (it seems that PHENIX still wants p+Al as "distinct priority")
   c) shift policy, 
    enforce the overlap shift for 8 hours, should we
    inform collaboration (due to travel and policy enforce in the middle of run)
3) proposals (iTPC further developments)
4) collaboration meeting (June) 
5) pre-QM meeting in Sept. 
    new proposal: SINAP hosts in Shanghai

 Agenda: 

1) run14 production status/plan 
2) run15 status/ strategy 
    trigger/physics priority
    long/trans decision

3) collaboration meeting

Agenda:

• Progress on running Sti with dropping HFT hits for non-3-HFT-hit tracks [Victor, Jason] {reference material: Jason's presentation at yesterday's S&C meeting}
• Progress on understanding what numbers to use for maximum tracks per HFT hit [Hao]
  • BaseQA with max=1 (no hit re-use)? [Jason]
  • BaseQA with higher occupancy? [Jason]
• Path forward for determination of HFT hits errors before production [Xin, Hao]
• If time allows: discussion of possible studies to better determine if non-3-HFT-hit tracks benefit at all from keeping HFT hits (following this hypernews thread)
• AOB
