 *--===================================================================--*

I. Agenda:

             1) Run11 Status - Bill / All

             2) QM11 abstract status - Bedanga

             3) TBD

*--===================================================================--*

II. Brief Summary and/or Action Items:

              0) Attendency: Olga, Flemming, Jamie, Jerome, Bedanga, Nu, Gene

              1) Run11: STAR is ready for Au+Au. However, Steve wants to continue on pp 500 GeV longitudinal till ....

              2) QM2011: two additional QM plenary talks: i) Jets; ii) BES // Parallel abstracts: 1) Inform those who's abstract is ready.

                  So they can submit the abstract asap. 2) We will focus only on those abstracts that are not ready: a) Quadrupole

                 abstract: general consus from PWG is that it will be good if new pp data from STAR is included in the abstract.  We will

                  request the author to include STAR new data. b) Grouping of abstracts.

                  QM2011 Topics:                                   #                     STAR abstracts                   

            1) Electromagnetic probes                 --  2                   (dileptons)
              2) Jets                                                 --  4                   (jets)
              3) Heavy flavor and quarkonia production  --  5         (upsilon, NPE, J/Psi)
              4) Hadron thermodynamics and chemistry  --  3         (BES (pi,k, p), Strangeness, anti-He4)
              5) Global and collective dynamics     --  4                   (v2(BES h),v2(200),v1, UPC)
              6) Correlations and fluctuations          -- 3                   (HBT, K/pi fluc, LPV)
              7) QCD phase diagram                        -- 2                   (High moment, BES v2(pid))
              8) Pre-equilibrium and initial state physics   -- 1         (v3)
              9) Experiments upgrade, future facilities and
instrumentations -- 2        (decdal, HFT/MTD,HLT)

 

                   TOTAL:                                                    -- 26
