Friday, 19 September 2014
SeeVogh# 100 7671, BNL room 1-189, at 15:00 (GMT), duration : 01:30
Agenda:

1) FMS preshower status (Oleg)

2) town Meeting Recap: cold/hot QCD
  hotQCD and coldQCD jointly recommend 
  EIC as the highest priority for future 
  facility construction. 

3) 2020+ forward upgrade plan/proposal

4) S&T review close-out
    STAR dataset time from data-taken to publication
    S&T committee is concerned about this.
    Both Elke (spin) and I (HI/STAR) were asked to present this in
    two different sessions.
    Three action items:
    I) HFT operation for next two runs 
       continue communications to DOE
    ii) detail document of data-taking efficiency and improvements
        (5 most important factors)
    iii) detail (RCF) computing plan/optimization up to 2018

5) pA beam energy
   should pA CM energy be same as pp or proton beam energies same?

5) Offline production (run13) and production preparation (run 14)  

1) upgrade recap: 

   agenda: https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/conference/timetable/talk/31071  

   proposal for future timeline and priorities 
   https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/system/files/STAR_future_plan_UIC.pdf
    a) iTPC management and plans 
    https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/system/files/iTPC%20status.pdf
    Project Manager: Flemming Vidaebek 
    Technical Director: Jim Thomas 

   b) run16 discussions at upgrade workshop 
   pp510 vs AA 62 (PAC requested both collaborations consider both cases) 
   FMS vs HCAL (I proposed to setup a committee to look into this) 
  
  c) forward upgrade (FCS+FTS in 2020+) 
      need a team for proposal in a few months. 



2) action items from BES workshop at LBL 

  i) dN/dy vs rapidity for PID spectra in BES I 
  ii) strangeness ratio ( e.g. (K-/K+)/(pbar/p) ratio) from STAR for Lattice QCD comparison 
     currently, theorists took our data and calculated ratios by themselves, sys. errors are 
     not propogated correctly. 
  iii) 14.6 GeV production and analyses (HIGH PRIORITY) 
  iv) TPC+TOF proton Kurtosis and alsowith different rapidity windows
  v)preparing new panel plots for BES II 
     Fig.19 in https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/system/files/BES_WPII_ver6.9_Cover.pdf  
     is more a summary from BES I, which is good. 
     but we need a summary panel (similar) clearly presenting our need for BES II. 
  vi) figure out a way to study baryon stopping and how the fluctuation in stopping impacts 
       Kurtosis analysis

3) collaboration meeting (agenda, tshirts, council chair election): 
   https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/meetings/star-collaboration-meeting-november-3-7 

4) run15 preparations 
   start forming the trigger board group 


6) postpone run15 to start in Feb. 2015?


7) APS site visit and survey 
   We should start with survey? 
    See link from the comment line: 

8) STAR publication policy (forward suggestions from the committee)
