pi0 Signal Shape

The shape of the invariant mass distribution using Pythia data, 2006 Geometry, QCD events.  Only pi0 candidates near a generated pi0 are considered, thus naively one could call all the data "signal."  The results are presented as a set of slides, with a separate set for each of the three algorithms currently under investigation.

Agenda:

a) Update on R&D proposals to EIC R&D call 
   i) Forward Calorimeter System (Huan)

   ii) TRD R&D (Zhangbu)

b) S&C Geometry/Forward Tracking Update (Ming and/for Victor/Jason)  

 i) updates:

http://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/system/files/StvFw.ppt 

  ii) priorities (discussion with Jerome)
    1) iTPC geometry (next FCS geometry) 
        May need Hao to check once geometry is in.
    2) integrated into Stv tracking (FGT, iTPC, ETTIE) 
    3) in parallel (event generator interface, should be ready in a couple of weeks)

c) June Workshop Agenda and goals 
  http://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/conference/timetable/talk/23768

d) Using eSTAR forum for all future upgrade discussions?

 

Thanks!

Analysis update, single photon simulation in GSTAR

Understading single photon reconstruction is important since it sets the baseline for pion analysis. The main purpose of single photon simulation is to evaluate to what extent our knowledge
