A call for the annual Beam Use Request (BUR) has been sent from the BNL ALD to RHIC collaborations on February 22nd, 2017:
Dear RHIC Spokespersons:
I am writing to request that you submit the annual Beam Use Request for the RHIC runs in 2018 and 2019 and related material.
We current[ly] anticipate, assuming favorable budget conditions, runs of 15 cryo-weeks (including 2 weeks for the Coherent electron Cooling test)
in FY2018 and 24 cryo-weeks each in FY2019 and FY2020. Less favorable,
but still likely, budget conditions would only allow for a combined run of 20 cryo-weeks in FY2019/FY2020. The beam use request should consider both possibilities.
The submissions are due by May 15, 2017. Since PHENIX has ended data taking and sPHENIX has not yet started construction, I expect to receive a BUR from STAR only.
I also ask STAR and PHENIX to report on the status of analyses of data from previous RHIC runs, especially the runs in 2014-16.
In addition, I invite the STAR and sPHENIX Collaborations to present letters of intent for proposals of modest forward upgrades to their detectors for data taking after 2021 for consideration by the PAC.
The dates for this year’s RHIC PAC meeting are June 15-16, 2017. A list of current PAC members is attached for your information.
Thanks in advance,
Berndt

Flemming
I can certainly do the iTPC and eTOF; In the previous BUR the upgrade parts are actually quite short
e.g. the fpost just one-half page with layout. the BES_II stuff ~ 2 pages
I would suggest possibly the following:
Have a brief intro that shows the upgarde in the star detector context (one nice overview figure that is used ofte
here we could show one of the acceptance plots that shows what iTPC and eTFO brings acceptance
For iTPC 1 page
— brief description, status readiness for run-19
picture of prototype from SDU,
for EPD
since its coming up for run-18 some more info maybe 1.5 -2 pages
pics: detailled layout, picture of 1/8 quadrant installed, a simple performance plot from this year
The effect of improvement in event plane response realy is for the physics performance plots, that has such included.
eTOF one page
placement, status, performance
Rosi
That sounds reasonable. Yes, I think an overview would show the
picture of STAR with all the detectors included + additional PID
acceptance gain since that is the point.
It should be rather easy to write a couple pages on the EPD with the
performance figures. We have the performance improvement figures in
our proposal already, and then with something from this year's data
that should be good.
Will the etof have any performance plots from this year?
Perhaps we can pick one of the observables from BES I and show the
improvement with all three detectors. Alex had already done something
like this for the lambda polarization (since I end up listening to
Mike a lot this is the one I'm most familiar with). Though perhaps
this would be more appropriate in the sections discussing the physics.
