Improving FMS resolution

Ideas about ways to improve resolution 

 

Cell Scan

There was a factor of 50% difference in the number of reconstrcted pions between my fill-by-fill calibrated dataset and the one with Steve's day-by-day calibration, as shown in my previous

e) STAR Upgrade Workshop
 

UCLA Upgrade Workshop Agenda

f) Discussions at the end of the Upgrade workshop and possible
   next workshop focusing on eSTAR (June 2012)
 
   Please think about what are our overall detector configurations, 
   long-term goals and near-term (next 6 months) goals; 
   Please try to come up with a couple of slides to show at the discussion
   session (at the end of the workshop); 
   Also discuss the idea of an eSTAR upgrade workshop in June 2012.
 
Thanks!

  proposal:

 
3) synchrotron radiation (EIC: Elke)
  
 
4) Inner tracker (miniTPC)
   Monday and Tuesday, there was a joint discussion between
   BNL and GSI, Panda had a miniTPC with GEM readout
   in FOPI test.
   And other R&D projects
 
5) status update and preparation for EIC R&D and STAR upgrade meetings
 
Happy Thanksgiving!
