A look at recent sDCA vs. phi
I took a look at recent sDCA distributions for good tracks (used in the SpaceCharge calibrations) vs. phi.
FGT Event Display Progress Report
Attached is an early view of the FGT event display. This is showing every 10th strip.
They should all be in the proper location within the detector.

New DB table for TPC GridLeak variation by sector
The TPC GridLeak distortion is understood to be due ion generated in the high gain region near the TPC anode wires leaking out into the main TPC volume via the gap in ground (cathode) and gated gri

STAR CFEngine policies
First stab at a CFEngine policy list and applicability. The complexity is an initial guess at this point.
Effects of TPC SC & GL distortions on vertexing
The TPC SpaceCharge & GridLeak distortions lead to effective rotations of tracks about a radial position somewhere in the middle of the TPC.
