Cloud computing - FastOffline run 11

 The summary of FastOffline real-time run 11 STAR data processing on the Cloud VMs.

Deployment of STAR software, initially on NERSC/Magellan:

EEMC correlations with lower pt cuts

FMS-BEMC lower pt cuts

TPC power supply temperature May 30

Pb not Au

 I'd like to propose that we collide Pb ions in RHIC in run 11 instead of Au.

AgML Library Status and Tuneup

Abstract:  In this blog we summarize the current status of the AgML library, validating it against the original AgSTAR library.  It will not be exhaustive...

Status of dE/dx calibration for pp 500 (transverse) and 19.6 GeV BES, Run XI

 Repass with dE/dx calibration for pp500 and AuAu19 has been finished.

The last point was to check with calibration values put in MySQL on part test sample.

Mid-rapidity Transversity+Collins Paper

TITLE:

The first measurement of the spin dependent azimuthial asymmetry of inclusive charged pions in mid-rapidity jets in transversly polarized proton collisions at \sqrt{s}=200 GeV.

Pile-up protection test

 Three test runs taken by Zhangbu using only the VPD-ZDC minbias triggers (no other triggers in the runs):

 II. Brief Summary and/or Action Items:

               0) Attendency: Jamie, Bedanga, Helen, Olga, Jerome, Bill, Nu


1)    Trainor issue: ask him to apologize. Nu should send the message. What should we do if he does not???

 

2)    Run11: FTP is in. The protection system is in, working on the overall efficiency. // June 29, 8am. Stop the operation. Magnet will be off on 30th. People can go home then.// Shift taking issues: management should take action to reduce the number of authors for those institutes who repeated have not full filled  // flip the magnet polarity done; special calib. data for TOF.  // At the end, may be UU collisions, 5 GeV collisions for two days. // 

 

3)    pAu data QA issue:  the data did not discussed in the PWG, the talk was not posted in startalk-list. Conveners did not approve the DIS talk. // The data was shown in QM2011. // Clear case of direct violation the STAR pub policy. // Fuqiang or Joern should have called Chris. //  Nu call Fuqiang and Joern to find the real situation.  Proceedings.

 

4)    QM2011 proceedings: June 15th drafts reach PWG; one week for PWG approval; June 30th is the conference deadline.

 

5)    Run7 data status: ncq scaling of v2.PWG discussions.

 

6)    Nu: PAC talk, will be ready soon. Needs input from FGT group.

 

7)    Nu; Working on new spokesperson office, by July 15th.
