- Outgoing: Dan Cebra
Conclusions: will change the meeting start time from next week (Nov. 18th)
4) Data production priority (PRIORITY LIST)
- Run21: O+O vs. d+Au
- Production time: 2 weeks each
- Calibration time: d+Au - 4 weeks; O+O - a few months
- Run22: st_physics, st_mtd, st_fwd, st_W, st_upc, st_zerobias
- One suggestion: (Run20+21) 26.5 FXT (7.2) > 3.85 FXT I (3.0) > 44.5 FXT (9.2) > 70 FXT (11.5) > 100 FXT (13.7) > 200 GeV d+Au > 200 GeV O+O >? 17.3 COL > 3.85 FXT II (3.0). Will continue the discussion next week.
- PWGs are asked to poll the interests of analyzing O+O data for QM
- Suggested Run 22 priority: st_upc > st_zerobias > st_W > st_physics > st_fwd > st_mtd
-- ColdQCD PWG will determine a list of runs for EMC calibration, which could be produced before physics production
-- it should be very fast to produce st_upc and st_zerobias streams
-- need to discuss with S&C team whether it is efficient to produce st_zerobias stream standalone and couple it with other data streams

- Mismatch seen in nHits distributions was identified to be offline vs. online cluster finder, which is now fixed for Run18 and BES-II. (See DETAILS here)
- Need 1-2 weeks to fine tune TpcRS after fixing the cluster finder issue
- Do we need to prioritize the embedding requests or just follow the natural order according to the request date (first come first serve)?
- FXT embedding strategy
Conclusions:
- Currently, we can go with the natural order of embedding requests, i.e. first come, first serve
- Will discuss priority for embedding production needed for HP2023 conference
- Dan presented and submitted some FXT embedding request with high priority in order to verify if it is OK to combine embedding production for various FXT energies
6) Agenda for Dec. analysis meeting: DRAFT

Target journal: PRL and PRD
NOTES
2) Hot QCD Community White Paper
- From Megan: "Jean-Francois and I were asked to organize a Hot QCD white paper that helps put the other white papers in context of the physics goals in our field. My understanding is that STAR was preparing to write a white paper but wanted to suggest that we join efforts and would like to invite those in STAR who were planning to contribute, to help write the relevant sections of the document we are preparing. Below is the draft outline of topics that we are planning to cover. We appreciate any recommendations you have for writers or any other suggestions on this process."
- STAR members already in the committee: Xin Dong, Prithwish Tribedy, Jiangyong Jia, Kong Tu
Conclusions
- We will not write a separate STAR white paper. But instead, use the BUR as the reference for details.
- Will propose the following people to join the hot QCD community white paper writing committee: Rongrong Ma, Takafumi Niida, Dan Cebra, Nihar Sahoo

3) Data production news
- DAQ proudction
- Run17 pp 510 GeV st_fms with pp2pp option - done (0.5% remaining)
- PicoDst -> MuDst conversion
- Run17 pp 510 GeV st_physics - done
- Is the jet tree production finished? Can we remove MuDst files from RCF?
- Run12 UU 193 GeV - done
- Run14 AuAu 200 GeV prod_low/mid - waiting for PWG QA to resume
- Run17 pp 510 GeV st_physics - done
- Data restoration
- Run16 st_upc MuDst - done
- Run11 AuAu 200 GeV - done (DD+RCF)
- Run18 FXT AuAu 3 GeV - duplicated on DD
- Anyone using MuDst of pp500_production_2013 P14ia and P14ig data? We have 2% - 60% on DD depending no the data stream.
- Run17 pp 510 GeV st_physics: need a couple more weeks to produce jet tree from MuDst.
- pp500_production_2013: ColdQCD PWG will check if anyone is using MuDst files of this dataset
4) Data production priority (PRIORITY LIST)
- Run21: O+O vs. d+Au
- Run22: st_physics, st_mtd, st_fwd, st_W
Conclusions
- FCV PWG prefers to have a slightly higher priority for O+O than for d+Au. Looking forward towards QM 2023, if we want to show results from O+O, we probably need to produce them immediately after 11.5 GeV Au+Au data. Will continue to discuss this. - Run22 datasets will be produced after Run21 datasets. For the four main streams in Run22, st_mtd can be placed with lowest priority. ColdQCD PWG will discuss the relative priorities of the other three data streams.

1) Paper preview: Measurement of directed flow at forward and backward pseudorapidity in Au+Au collisions at 27 GeV with the Event Plane Detector (EPD) at STAR
- Brief introduction from the PWG conveners (5’) [Jiangyong Jia]
- Paper proposal (15') [Presentation by Xiaoyu Liu]
- Open discussions (35')
- Summary from the conveners' panel (5’)
Conclusions
- There are multiple white papers ongoing: i) one from the hot and cold QCD townhall; ii) one for hot QCD organized by conveners/speakers from townhall. It will be good to know which STAR members are on these writing committees for easier coordination.
- It was suggested that the STAR white paper should focus on the future programs (what physics STAR can do in the next years). Summaries of what have been learnt since last LRP should be concise and about physics, not a laundry list of measurements.
- Better to submit the STAR white paper to arXiv such that it can be cited.
- The Nov. 7th deadline set by the townhall organizers for white paper submission is quite rushed. We should probably communicate with them about this. Cold QCD folks have already written to them.
- Will continue the discussion in the next weeks.
3) Follow up
- Do we still need to duplicate small-size datasets on distributed disk?
- List of key BES-II measurements: LIST
- pwg_tasks space: usage

- Centrality for low-energy collisions (other than two-component Glauber approach) - Dan Cebra
- Zoom: https://bnl.zoomgov.com/j/1605112744?pwd=RTJFMzQzM0tTZ3padml4VEEvbzUrdz09
- What is the definition of small-sized dataset that could be duplicated on DD?
- At this point, we suggest that PWGs ignore this criteria and list all the datasets that they want to be duplicated on DD. Once we receive feedback from all PWGs and decide on a priority list, we will discuss with the S&C team to see which datasets can be actually duplicated due to the capacity of the DD.
- What is the current progress of BES-II embedding?
- A postdoc from BNL/KSU is leading the efforts to understand the issue and tune TpcRS. Currently, the discrepancy between data and embedding seems to originate from different TPC cluster finders used. Further investigations are ongoing.

2) Recap of forward trigger discussion for Run23Target journal: PRC
NOTES
Conclusions:
- Jpsi trigger in UPC: all the components are readily usable
- TOF+EPD+HCAL trigger: need to follow up on a few details. No showstopper.
3) Do we still need to duplicate small-size datasets on distributed disk?
Conclusions:
- Conveners will bring this up for discussion in the PWGs
- Will contact S&C team to duplicate Run18 3 GeV FXT dataset on DD
4) List of key BES-II measurements: LIST
Conclusions:
- Changed the wording from "declare BES-II success" to "declare BES-II completion"
- The current list is mainly based on the white paper where we argue for running the BES-II program
- These key measurements need to be released in a timely fashion, and therefore it is important to identify analysis groups who are committed to do the analysis as a high priority
- Of course, people are more than welcome to carry out measurements not on this list using BES-II datasets
5) List of service task: LIST
Conclusions: will discuss within the management the scope of this service task list. For example, should we include students who are doing the required service task?
6) pwg_tasks space: usage
Conclusions: Cold QCD PWG will follow up on this further

2) List of key BES-II measurements: LIST
- We can claim BES-II analyses are done after these results are released
- Conveners will bring this back to PWG for discussion
- Need to identify groups who will work on these key measurements
- Dan suggested to add all FXT energies. Probably should have targeted datasets separately for each analysis.
3) A reminder
- After addressing PWGC comments and completing the analysis, PAs should send paper draft and analysis note to the PWG for review for at least 2 weeks.
- Conveners should sign off explicitly before requesting GPC.
4) List of service task: LIST
Conclusions: will continue updating the list if there are additional inputs from PWGs. Then will send the list to the Council in case something is missing
5) pwg_tasks space: usage
Conclusions: Conveners will bring this back to PWG for discussion. If there are data that are not needed, we can remove them to make space for new requests.

1) Paper preview: Measurements of unpolarized cross section and transverse single spin asymmetry of $Z^{0}$ in 500/510 GeV p+p collisions
- Brief introduction from the PWG conveners (5’) [Qinghua Xu]
- Paper proposal (15') [Presentation by Xiaoxuan Chu]
- Open discussions (35')
- Summary from the conveners' panel (5’)
- Each PWG prepares 2-3 slides on what you think is/are the most important discovery(ies)/interpretation(s) from STAR since the last LRP
- Zoom link: https://bnl.zoomgov.com/j/1602246597?pwd=aTFqdnp0dHlQS05meGt4VFhEeWRtUT09
- Agenda: https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/event/2022/08/22/LRP-planning-STARRHIC
- Everyone is welcome to join
- These important results could be ideas from before last LRP, but we have gained important insights into them since last LRP
- These presentations from each PWG hopefully will serve as the starting point for the white paper
3) Run21 7.7 GeV COL data
- Production done
- An issue in nSigmaX distribution is found. See details here. This is being investigated.
4) Run19 14.6 GeV bad run and centrality almost ready
- Bad run list
- Glauber parameters
- StRefMultCorr: PR #384
- Current production: P18ic, "DbV20171001 pp2017a StiCA btof mtd mtdCalib PicoVtxDefault fmsDat fmsPoint fpsDat BEmcChkStat OSpaceZ2 OGridLeak3D"
- Which library is preferred, previous one or the latest one?
- Will consult with PAs which library is preferred
- Since there are no large ongoing production, the proposal is to start this production immediately and share the farm with other BES-II production when they are ready
6) Tasks for Code QA
- Reproduce exactly the analysis results, provided by PAs, based on a few (1-2) MuDst/PicoDst/Embedding files
- Reproduce paper figures based on the instructions, codes, histograms from full statistics, all provided by PAs
- Conveners are generally supportive of this proposal. Will apply them to new GPCs.
- For currently active GPCs, Rongrong will remind them that all the analysis codes, not just the plotting macros, should be committed to CVS.
7) Embedding helper: FCV PWG
Conclusions:
- We have found two embedding deputies: Maowu Nie (SDU), Xionghong He (Lanzhou)
- The FCV PWG will continue to search for a helper. But Xianglei can already start with the current team (2 deputies, 5 helpers)
8) Submitted presentations (LINK)
Conclusions: conveners and PAC will go through the list of submitted presentations to provide comments or discard obsolete entries.
9) Deadline information, when available, is now included in the notification email

Target journal: Physical Review C
NOTES
2) Run21 7.7 GeV production plan
- Recommendation: will start the first pass of Run21 7.7 GeV production with the current available calibrations
- Two known limitations, which may be improved in the future once the improved calibrations are ready
- dE/dx offsets for heavier particles - Yuri is working on this
- eTOF overal timing resolution ~150ps - worse (a factor of 2) than expectation
3) Collaboration meeting at BNL (hybrid, Sep. 12-16)
- Tuesday, Wednesday: parallel sessions
- PWG reports during plenary session
- Management-convener meeting: noon or evening?
4) pwg_tasks space for BES-II UrQMD simulations
- 10 million events at each energy
- 2T disk space
AOB
- Run19 14.6 GeV centrality calibration is being wrapped up, and should be made available to the whole collaboration soon. We should not approve any centrality-dependent preliminary results before that.
- Authors should really obey the rule and send slides/proceedings to PWGs 2 weeks ahead of deadline.

1) Paper preview: Measurements of longitudinal double-spin asymmetries for dijet production at intermediate pseudorapidity in polarized pp collisions at \sqrt(s) = 510 GeV
- Brief introduction from the PWG conveners (5’) [Maria Zurek]
- Paper proposal (15') [Presentation by Scott Wissink]
- Open discussions (35')
- Summary from the conveners' panel (5’)
- Current dE/dx calibration is good for a first pass; further improvement mainly for large-mass particles
- Need to see whether the current eTOF calibration is good for a first pass
- the convener panel is supportive of the plan to produce the 7.7 GeV COL data, which overlaps with the 7.7 GeV FXT data.
- the eTOF calibration and software should be ready for converting Run19/20 FXT MuDst to PicoDst. Will ask the production team to move this forward.
3) Late request of preliminary results
- Conveners keep track of analysis progress since the abstract submission, and request regular updates from PAs
- If PAs do not respond, conveners should inform management, who will then intervene
- If PWG/conveners do not have time to vet the new results, those results should not be released as preliminary
- We need to watch out for abstracts that over-promise
- Analyzers should present their results regularly in PWG such that conveners can follow the details of the analyses, to make the approval process smooth.
4) Embedding deputies and helpers (Current list)
- One helper for each PWG
- Expect to place high priority on assigned tasks, and communicate with the embedding coordinator timely

5) Questions from trigger group (answers needed by Aug. 1st)
- More midrapidity triggers than those used in Run14/16?
- Cross talk between BEMC and BTOF?
- BBC trigger readout issues seen in Run22 will be fixed with DSM2 board for Run23. BEMC trigger readout issue is negligible.
6) FXT embedding strategy: proton sample for all datasets for comparison and cross check
Conclusions: the highest priority for embedding should be pions in 3.2 GeV FXT such that one can compare TPC performance at positive and negative eta. Then we should produce embedding samples at 3.2 and 7.7 GeV FXT in order to verify whether one can group several FXT datasets together for embedding purpose.
7) Collaboration meeting
- Time: Sep. 12-16
- Location: BNL
- LFSUPC: organize a dedicated parallel session for freeze-out parameter extraction, especially at low energy (3 GeV FXT)

2) Strategy for BES-II FXT dataset embedding (Dan, SLIDES)
Conclusions: given the large number of FXT datasets recorded during BES-II, it was suggested to merge the embedding requests for the datasets of same TPC status.
- Here are potential groups of FXT datasets that have the same TPC status and could be combined
- 2019: 3.2, 3.9, 7.7
- 2020: 3.9, 5.2, 6.2
- 2021: 3.0 (first part), 9.2, 11.5, 13.7
- The main idea is to produce embedding samples for the highest energy in a group (see above), which covers the full multiplicity range, and this embedding sample will be used for all the datasets in the group
- Might submit central embedding requests for each group instead of from individual analyzers
- This is possible since the vertex positions of all FXT datasets are the same
- Will check the effect of rapidity change vs. collision energy by comparing the tracking efficiencies at a given multiplicity between existing Run19 3.2 GeV embedding and (to-be-produced) Run19 7.7 GeV embedding
- Dan will coordinate with other conveners and the embedding team to come up with a more concrete strategy

2) Organizational news - Cold QCD convener rotation (Outgoing: Matt Posik; Incoming: Xiaoxuan Chu)
Conclusions: many thanks for Matt's dedication to the Cold QCD PWG in the last three years. Welcome on board Xiaoxuan.
3) Embedding helpers (Current list)
- One helper for each PWG
- Expect to place high priority on assigned tasks, and communicate with the embedding coordinator timely
- LFSUPC: Yi Fang (Tsinghua), Yiding Han (Rice)
- PWGs will approach existing helpers to see if they are willing to continue to serve. If not, will find new helpers.
- It is very important that helpers place embedding work as one of their priorities and communicate with others in a timely fashion.
- Dan: we should have a coherent approach to FXT embedding. We do not need separate embeddings for all the datasets since the detector acceptance and event multiplicity do not change significantly among different FXT energies. Will look into this and come up with a plan.
4) Help needed for Yuri to do detailed QA during calibration
Conclusions: Dan will communicate with Yuri to see what kind of help he needs exactly, and then we will try to find helpers in the QA board.
5) Production priority (PRIORITY)
- 17.3 COL and 7.2 FXT
6) Questions from trigger group (answers needed by Aug. 1st)
- More midrapidity triggers than those used in Run14/16?
- Cross talk between BEMC and BTOF?
- Rongrong will find out whether the BEMC trigger issue during Run22 is fixed or not
- PWGs will continue to discuss at weekly meetings on these questions
7) Forward triggers: concrete plan needed by September
Conclusions: HP and LFSUPC will follow up on the study of potential forward triggers for Run23 Au+Au collisions. Need to come up with initial trigger thresholds and expected rates by September.
8) Run19 19.6 GeV Glauber parameter uncertainties available (LINK)
- 5% uncertainty in total cross section included as in BES-I. It will be re-evaluated for publication
- These uncertainties are good for preliminary results.
- The bad run list for Run19 3.2 GeV (FXT, 4.59 GeV) is now available: https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/pwg/common/bes-ii-run-qa/FXT-datasets
