The STAR experiment

1) Run18 data production QA
- 27 GeV AuAu by BulkCorr
- 27 GeV AuAu by LFSUPC

1) Run18 data QA
- BulkCorr for 27 GeV Au+Au slides, slides
file-by-file QA: a few files have different eta-phi distributions
- LFSUPC for 27 GeV Au+Au slides
Jump in multiplicity and BBC b/w run 19144033-19144036

2) embedding priority 
- JetCorr
2>1
#20184801, Pythia embedding in 200GeV pAu, No-HFT, not started yet.
-- This is for a few on-going analyses which depend on embedding to go forward. At least one of them is aimed at QM

#20191402-03, pi+/pi- in Run14 AuAu200 MB, No-HFT, reproduction, not started yet.
-- Run14 should be our mainstay for years to come; this is the first and most important step toward efficiency estimation and folding & unfolding. Many analyses are waiting for this embedding, multiple are aimed at QM as well.

- ColdQCD/Spin
--  Run 13 period 1, PYTHIA+GEANT embedded into zero bias
    This is our highest priority, as it's needed to complete the Run 13 jet and di-jet A_LL analysis.  It's been underway for several months, and is expected to be completed by the end of this week.

--  Run 15 pi/K/p into minbias
    This has been on the list at relatively low priority for quite a while. However, it is now one of the rate-determining reactions for progress to continue on the Run 15 Collins analysis.  (Detailed status/explanation will be provided if you wish.)  It should be quick and easy.  We would like this to be run as soon as the Run 13 period 1 request is completed.

--  Run 13 period 2, PYTHIA+GEANT embedded into zero bias
    In principle, this should be a very high priority for us.  However, as I mentioned during the PWGC call last Friday, the Run 13 period 2 false asymmetries are currently way too big.  There is some concern that the problem might be intrinsic to (a) the very high instantaneous luminosities that were present during most of Run 13 period 2 and/or (b) the strange noise that was observed in the EMC and trigger during much of Run 13 period 2 (but never understood).  If the problem is truly intrinsic, that might require us to disregard the period 2 data for the final Run 13 A_LL analysis.  Thus, the PWG has concluded that the false asymmetry problem needs to be resolved before we can justify the devoting a large amount of CORI time to period 2 embedding.

Although it hasn't been submitted yet, we have another very large PYTHIA+GEANT embedding request on the horizon for Run 15.  This is needed for further progress on the Run 15 jet and di-jet A_LL analysis, and will become a critical path item for the Run 15 Collins analysis shortly after the Run 15 pi/K/p sample above has been completed and folded into that analysis.  We will submit this request as soon as the Run 15 EMC
calibrations are finalized and in the database.  (I wish I could give you a firm date for when that will occur.  But sadly, as of this moment I can't.)

4>2>3>1
1. #20191601-04, NPE request for Run16 AuAu200 HFT
  Aimed for QM talk on B->e Raa and v2.
  the analysis has progressed to the point where it is currently needed, cannot be circumvented by fast simulator.

2.#20191001, J/psi and psi2s in run17 pp510 (MTD), not started yet.
  Aimed for QM talk, if the embedding is available authors plan preliminary results for end of June.

3.#20191701-04, NPE request for Run17 AuAu54 HFT, not started yet.
  Aimed for QM talk, the analysis has progressing well, we will need it soon

4.#20183602, pi/k/p in Run16 dAu 200 GeV, HFT
  Waiting for updating SL17d_embed for HFT embedding.
  Important for D0 Raa in dAu, if done the results could be presented at QM.
