Material issues (and likely tracking issues) near the end of the TPC
There is an undocumented difference between tracking in ROOT/TGeo and Geant 3 which has an impact on our material budget, and is likely to have an impact on track reconstruction, near the end of th

FNAL test beam on FMS Pb-glass
The attached pdf is a summary of the results from the recent FNAL test (e-) beam on a large FMS cell (with small cell PMT).
FGT timing 1
We took 3 data sets with fixed APV timing latency measured in 1/4 of RHIC clock ticks
FGT Commissioning Time Shape Monitor
All of the plots below have ADCMAX (maximum adc out of all time bins - pedestal) greater than some threshold cut.
AgML hits (starsim) vs AgSTAR hits (starsim) in the ESMD
Abstract -- Hits in the SMD between AgSTAR and AgML are slightly inconsistent, showing slightly more (or less) energy deposited on an event-by-event basis.

Simulations are in progress, a clear step forward; BNL LDRD call strengthen the simulation efforts? Set priorites for simulations. //
Huan: Dec.2011 meeting focused on physics topics. Now need more focus on Simulations; STAR R&D plan: inner read-out upgrade:
should start soon; Forward Calorimeter: 1/15 prototype. 40x40x100cm in size. Needs about $150-200k, engerring support needed.
