  --- Agenda ---

1) 14.5GeV production plans: feedback from PWGs
 see e.g.  pwgc-management-meeting_20141105.pdf
and

and comment, below.

2) 
PWGC Disk Space
available PWG quota: 50TB
proposed procedure:
 - request to PAC from PWG conveners
 - request should be directly related to physics analyses that point to physics papers. The conveners, if possible in close collaboration with the PAs, should prepare a single-page document in which they document the planned paper, the PAs involved, the analyses strategy, amd the (disk) resources that are needed. These documents will be kept on a drupal page
 - the initial life time of the request is 200 days

3) Reminder of deadlines meetings.
 Please identify early some of the potential delays and try to work with PAs early on in order to allow the collaboration review to take its proper course.

4) PWGC Preview: Kaon v1 paper
 Title: Beam Energy Dependence of Charged Kaon Directed Flow in Au+Au Collisions
 Target Journal: PRL
 PWG: BulkCorr
 PAs:Yadav Pandit, Gang Wang, Olga Evdokimov, Declan Keane, Nu Xu
 Paper proposal web site:

Background issue's time-dependence

 

Run 9 Dijet det-par mass comparisons for different triggers

Taking a look at difference between detector-level dijet mass and particle-level dijet mass, plotted against the detector-level dijet mass. This is then broken into triggers.

Impact of TPC Supersector Mis-alignment on HFT Tracking

There was some suspect that even there is a TPC mis-alignment, when tracking outside-in, the residual resolution is mostly dominated by the projection error, so the impact on the HFT tracking eff

Run12 Calibration: Triggering Options

 The "TriggerOptions" slides below show two options for event samples that we could use for calibration. Given this, it was requested that I split the Option 1 plots up by trigger.
