The Heavy Flavor Tracker (HFT) project is part of the STAR upgrades for midterm and RHIC-II running.
A CD-0 proposal has been prepared and submitted to BNL (August 30) for submission to DOE. The proposal was submitted to DOE by the ALD S.Vigdor on about October 2. It can be found HERE
and it is also attached at the bottom of the page.
A CD-0 review is expected sometimes in January of 2008
This page will keep final documents on the project and documentation for the sub-systems (PIXEL, IST) and links to relevant other information.
The project meetings are documented mainly via links to agenda and presentation or via other page.
So far this only includes the monthly meetings.
Later meetings can be found here
This page will contain the talks given at the meeting the program was.
