The STAR experiment

 Agenda

1) Update from S&C-HFT meeting from Thursday and action items

2) Run14 calibration update

      - PXL

          - I know all status tables for RFF cosmic runs are uploaded to db and tested. Now working on all the 200 GeV physics runs

     - IST

          - basically ready for cosmic ray production as of last week.

     - Alignment

          - Findings from day 167 ZF cosmic run data

          - other studies

     - SSD?

3) New Meeting Time

4) Others

     - VF update - Daniel (?)

     - tracking studies - Hao (?)

     - simulators - ?

 Agenda

 1) Flemming remarks on Warsaw meeting and upcoming LBL face2face meeting 

   (what to expect and when). Also inform the group on the PXL plans for the 3He

   run and the end game.

2) Xin put together a detailed and thoughtful task list (unfortunately long)! He might want

   to discuss some aspects of it especially related to KPP work. There is background 

   discussions going on some of these aspects.

3) Updates: post your stuff on Drupal. I am aware of several short updates. I will ask people 

   have key slides only with enough text to make someone understand in case we do not 

   have enough time to get to it today.

 Action items for pre-CD4 (see also my and Xin's talks in the link below)

https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/event/2014/06/10/hft-f2f

1) Do kaon DCA and pion efficiency for minbias AuAu + pileup
2) Embed in Data (hit level) 1 GeV pions (~5/event) for efficiency
3) Reprocess a small data sample with latest software for updated DCA plots

Other tasks not directly related to CD4

0) Geometry in Sti
1) Look at time dependence of Alignment, Masking, Calibrations environment in general. Do SSD alignment.
2) Understand vertex fitting/splitting 
3) Understand low tracking efficiency, high ghosting for PXL - use alternative tracking STV
4) Idtruth issues?
