The STAR experiment

Figure 1: Analysis of 1st attempt at calculating the upsilon cross section

Update 2008-11-06: minor naming revisions:

• use crate/crateChannel instead of crate/sequence in bemcMapping
• use rdo/rdoChannel instead of crate/position in smd and prs mapping

Update 2008-11-03: I posted a new version of the schemas. The changes are:

• drop softID field in favor of elementID, as the latter has a special meaning in STAR’s DB API.
• add eta and phi float fields to give the physical position of each element.
• rename module-eta-sub to m-e-s so we can redefine eta as above.
• added PMTbox, MAPMT, and pixel fields in the PRS table.
• renamed fiber to crate in the SMD and PRS tables.

NB Mainly notes for self but posting here will enable others to see too.

Cu+Cu 62 GeV strangeness request (P05id)

Trying to do further QA for run 8 dAu I plotted the refmult distribution for BBC coincidence rate below 140KHz (Low lum) and above 170KHz ( High Lum) trying to see the effect of pile-up on the refm

Attached is a presentation that I made to explain a discussion I had with Markus Wobisch about calculating the Jet Energy Scale.

 These are some event display images related to issue #1290. I have zoomed in to the collision vertex region.

 Draft-talk for DNP 2008 - Ernst

I was trying to see how different the correlation between the vertex from the VPD and from Minuit  for low luminosity and high luminosity ,but the unfortunately the calibrated runs provided fr

Here is the latest version of my DNP08 talk which is scheduled for this Friday (Oct. 24), thanks for all the helpful comments/suggestions :)
