NPE in Run14 Au+Au 200 GeV Meeting Minutes by Zhenyu - 2015/05/29

0) QM Abstract
We discussed submitting a QM15 abstract. Due to the premature status of the analysis and uncertainty in the HFT embedding, we think a poster contribution is more appropriate. Zhenyu will draft a first version and send around. Need to discuss who should give the presentation if it is accepted.

1) Data
Mustafa will produce NPE trees for 100M events. Kunsu did not attend the meeting for personal reason.

2) SImulation - Xiaozhi 
Xiaozhi compared electron pT and c*tau distributions with and w/o final state radiation. The ratios between the two cases look reasonable. It was suggested to have wider bins at high pT and c*tau where statistics is poorer, increase the statistics, and fit the ratios with straight lines. 
Xiaozhi also reported some checks on c*tau distributions for electrons from direct B0 decay, and from cascade decays. The distributions are consistent with PDG values of D/B meson lifetime. It was proposed to have the change in the StarEvtGenDecayer class in the official version to have the flexibility of obtaining the vertex positions wrt to the primary vertex in the lab frame. Mustafa will review the code before commiting to github.
Xiaozhi also reported status on detector simulation.
