The STAR experiment

- Homework from yesterday's dry run  - Flemming/Xin/Yifei

- StiSsd status   - Jonathan

- HFT-TPC matching with new TPC T0/alignment - Mustafa

- Run14 remaining calibration tasks and timelines   - All

     - Zhenyu mentioned that Babak may want to give an update on the IST calibration

1) News from the close-out review - Flemming

2) News from the S&C-HFT joint meeting - Xin/Jonathan

3) Run14 calibration update (I would like to make this as a regular item and ask for weekly report from each subsystem).

     - PXL (Hao)

     - IST (Yaping/Babak)

     - SSD

     - Alignment

            - global alignment with the new T0

            - internal alignment with ZF

4) Simulation update

     - IST simulator - Leszek

5) AOB

 
Agenda items (Xin)

1) News from the S&C-HFT meeting - StiSsd update - Jonathan

2) Run14 calibration update

       - PXL - masking tables (?)

       - IST

       - SSD

       - Alignment - new findings from the ZF cosmic data?

3) AOB

 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?
