upgrade comments

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.
