Organization

=========================
Chair: Matthew Kelsey (mkelseyATwayne.edu)
Members: Raghav Kunnawalkam Elayavalli, Hanseul Oh, Yuanjing Ji, Jan Vanek, Qian Yang, Zilong Chang
Ex Officio: Jason Webb

 Charge
=========================
Study PYTHIA8 event generator to attempt to determine a tune that better matches available RHIC data. Produce a writeup documenting these studies, results, and a "STAR tune" set of parameters. An initial report is expected in 3-6 months, and the final document in 6-12 month
