EVO ID 109811  Wednesday 12:30--1:30PM

Agenda:

a) simulation progress:
   Tracking/PID (Nikolai)
   http://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/system/files/eSTAR_nikolai_09282011.pptx

  material in front of Poletip (Yuri)
   http://www.star.bnl.gov/HyperNews-star/protected/get/estar/38.html

b) event generator implementation (Matt?)
   PYTHIA should work with all kinematics passing to geant.root;

   for MC events and reconstruction:
   We need a geometry with new detectors:
   WCAL (already there, but need a geometry tag, currently y2012)

   TRD/TOF (Ming)

   Inner Tracker (Nikolai? Ernst?) 

c) R&D proposals and progresses 
  i) WCAL update (UCLA)
  http://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/system/files/wcalupdate.pptx
  i) ETTIE update (Ming)
   http://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/system/files/eSTAR_simu_0927.pptx

  ii) VECC R&D Large GEM (joint?)
   http://www.star.bnl.gov/HyperNews-star/protected/get/estar/37.html

d) Kinematics discussions (Jamie/Elke)

e)Collaboration meeting eSTAR/upgrade agenda;
    invite theorists to focus on first-stage eRHIC physics
   with ep and eA (electron energy ~-5 GeV)??
   suggest topics and speakers?

 Thursday (11/17)
    Morning: Plenary software session

    Afternoon:
    Plenary upgrade session + decadal plan + eSTAR
    Run12 preparation (?)

  (Ming Shao, Zhangbu and Tonko)
