Robust flow subtraction analysis PAs Kun Jiang, Fuqiang Wang
-- In principle two more papers can be generated: jet correlation relative to the event plane
-- and three particle correlation. Unclear timeline due to PAs workload

FMS di-pi0 correlations PAs: Akio Ogawa
-- At a very advanced stage, but currently in limbo due to FMS issues and time crunch during data taking

inclusive jet suppression in 200 GeV AuAu PAs: Jan Rusnak, Jana Bielcikova, Peter Jacobs)
-- very advanced stage, would like a preview ASAP, GPC formation soon after.

2 paper on gamma/pi0+jet for pp200GeV and Run14 AuAu PAs: Nihar, Saskia, Derek, Peter, ...
-- 3-5 months until proposal

zg in p+p PAs: Kolja Kauder, Joern Putschke
-- proposed in the pwg, working on draft and toward pwgc preview in the near future

di-jet+hadron PAs: Nick Elsey, Joern Putschke, Kolja Kaude
-- proposed in the pwg, working on draft and toward pwgc preview in the near future

No set timeframe:
Tsukuba:
- Jet-like correlations wrt the event plane and using event shape engineering

Jana, Peter:
- next generation inclusive fully reconstructed jet analysis

Jana + grad student
- Just started.

Peter:
- jet substructure observables
- JETSCAPE comparison to STAR

Yale:
- Started work on semi-inclusive z_g in Run14

CCNU:
-- Heavy-tagged jets in the beginning stage, unlikely to be at the paper proposal stage within the next 6-12 months.

Lehigh:
-- Starting up a jetcorr@STAR program

Rutgers:
-- jet-hadron correlations relative to the event plane

LFSUPC:
1) FXT 3.0, 3.5, and 4.5 Au+Al Coulomb Potential Paper
http://nuclear.ucdavis.edu/~star/protected/FixedTargetPaper/
Status - in GPC, PAs need to respond to GPC comments

2) FXT 4.5 GeV Au+Au paper
https://www.star.bnl.gov/protected/lfsupc/FXT/AuAu_4p5/www/index.html
Status: Paper proposal was presented to the PWGC on August 18th. We are in the process of drafting the Analysis Note, which should be done by the end of September. Once we have a first draft of the analysis note, we will start drafting the PRC paper. Most analyses are completed, however we have two LFS-UPC efforts which are being finalized: first we are completing a study of the weak decay feed-down contribution to the pion spectra; we have initial results but are checking these for consistency before presenting to the LFS-UPC PWG. Second, we are finalizing the methodology for removing the K+ contamination of the pi+ spectra; this should be completed by the end of the month. We do not expect the proton spectra to be ready to include in this paper.

3) FXT 4.9 GeV Al+Au paper
Status: The K0s and Lambda spectra analysis has been completed by Usman Ashraf. Todd Kinghorn is working on the pion spectra. He currently has pi- raw spectra and is waiting for the embedding to be completed before doing the efficiency corrections. The feed-down corrections will be done by Sam Heppelmann once we have verified the methodolgy for the Au+Au paper. The pi+ spectra will be completed once we have verified the K+ contamination methodolgy for the Au+Au paper (we also need to then add efficiency corrections and feed-down). We would like to include the proton spectra in this paper as the meson-to-baryon ratio as a function of centrality will be an important part of the physics message. We would like the compare the K0s-to-lambda ratio to the pion-to-proton ratios. Sam Heppelman is working on the proton spectra. Usman will be the lead author on this paper. We expect the paper proposal the be ready by the end of October. Usman, Todd, and Sam will give updates at the Analysis meeting.

4) BES rapidity and centrality dependent spectra
Status: Chris Flores has completed this analysis and it is final. Unfortunately he has also graduated and started a new job. We need to prepare a paper proposal page, Analysis Note, and draft PRC paper.
Time scale for this work is by the end of the calendar year, as it will be quite a long paper.

5) Proton spectra from 4.5 GeV Au+Au
Status: Sam Heppelman has taken over this analysis effort. It is unlikely that these results will be ready for the long FXT Au+Au paper. We have not finalized a strategy for where to publish these results as it is
unlikely that they could justify a stand-alone paper. We are considering two options for publication: first we could include these spectra in a paper on the net-proton fluctuations; Zhenzhen, from CCNU, is doing this analysis and it could make a very interesting paper, however there are several technical issues and the higher moments analysis in general are receiving much scrutiny. As a second option, we could include the proton spectra in a paper that also include light nuclei (deuterons, tritons, and helions); we are starting this analysis at Davis, however as do not have an estimate of the timescale on which these might be ready. Expect an update at the January collaboration meeting.

6) Strangeness Analysis in U+U.
Paper proposal early 2018
Current Status: Ks/Lambda/Anti-Lambda/Xi/Anti-Xi corrected spectra have been obtained. Feed down correction for Lambda(Anti-Lambda) (working currently) & systematic is to be implemented

7) Low pT e+e- pair production in Au+Au collisions
Paper already being reviewed in the LFSUPC
Paper proposal webpage
http://www.star.bnl.gov/protected/lfsupc/syang/dielectronPaper/lowPtWebPage/

8) Then there are several analyses whose paper plans haven't been discussed yet
J/Psi photoproduction, Dimuons in pp, pAu and AuAu collisions, Antihypertriton using HFT
