Meeting Agenda:

1) roundtable: updates/progress?

     -> redux EEMC geometry, decoder, tests - all

        * fyi: latest geometry/validation
        http://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/blog/jwebb/2009/sep/21/validation-eemc-mc-geometry

        * fyi:SMD orientation reconciliation
         http://www.star.bnl.gov/HyperNews-star/get/emc2/3318.html

        * how to get on with MC tests?
           - additional info/work needed (e.g., next)

        * decoder issues
        http://www.star.bnl.gov/HyperNews-star/protected/get/starsimu/391.html

        * tests/docs needed

     -> other status/update

C = comment

Try to identify speaker as I am able.

Filtering

Will Q: News on filtering?
Michael A: Waiting for Victor -  not until after collaboration meeting.

EEMC Geometry

Will Q: Any updates since yesterday?
Jason A: Looked at some other layers and no obvious problems.

Will Q: Is number of volumes stable?
Jason A: Think so.  Yes.

Will Q: What is polystyrene on both sides of tower megatiles?
Hal A: Was there in original geometry. 
Jim, etc. C: Might be trying to mockup other material in wrapper.  Aluminum, Kevlar, Tyvek faces
forward.  Front plastic 0.15 mm back 0.55 mm. 
Jason A: Delay until virtual Monte Carlo?  Change would require 2 additional volumes because now
tile is stuck in a large volume of polystyrene.
Jim C: Delaying sounds fine.

Scott Q: Does everyone agree SMD correct?
Will A: Yes.
Jim A: Agree.
Will C: Please double check.

Will Q: How do we move on with testing?
Jason A: Will send email to Victor.  Same problem with having to wait until after collaboration
meeting.
Ilya C: Might be able to fix decoder.  Email sent to starsimu.
Jason C: I have not looked over code in great detail. 
Will C: Maybe ask TOF folks.
Jason C: I think simulations group has control of this.
Jim C: Frank worked on TOF.
Hal C: Also HFT.

Will Q: What tests do we want?
Will A: Have to look at everything.

Michael C: You can do tests now with Geant. 
Ilya C: Would have to write new code.
Jason C: I have code to get sampling fraction straight from Geant.
Will C: We care about SMD.  Not worth extra work.

AOB

Will Q: Alice what about gamma+jet code?
Alice A: Code from 3 people.  Will look at next week.
