Latest version (combine simulations from LBL/SINAP, text from Purdue and SBU)
https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/system/files/forward_Upgrade_STAR_HI_Cases_v7.pdf 

1) Effect of Longitudinal fluctuation on extracting eta/s (Paul, Zhangbu)
2) v_n analysis using forward Energy (Jiangyong, Declan, Paul)
3) Ridge and Long Range correlations (Fuqiang, Jeorn)
4) Forward charm production in pp/pA and light/peripheral AA collisions (Zebo, Zhenyu)
5) Jet production in forward (light/peripheral AA collisions) (Helen, Joern)
6) Fluctuation of Baryon stopping (combine EPD and FCS) (Hank, Alex)

Xin-Nian Wang and his students have implemented our detector resolutions 
into their hydro calculation in event-by-event fluctuation effect, and the results 
are attached. The detector effect on the measurement of rapidity correlation is small:
