 Agenda: 

1) updates on physics cases and plots

2) draft writing section discussions
  i) introductions
  ii) science cases and performances
  iii) Detector configuration and components
      a) eSTAR mechanic drawing (John Scheblein) 
        https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/system/files/eSTAR_mechanics_v0.pdf 
        very first version, need a few fixes, 
        TRD between ETOF and TPC in east; 
        BSO (crystal calorimeter) need to extend deeper into IR; 
        any other suggestions? colors? 
       this should be compared to what we have now: 
      https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/system/files/STAR_geometry_2013.pdf

      b) eSTAR geant geometry drawing (Katarina Gajdosova)
         Jaro's student works on eSTAR geometry from geant Jason created: 
         https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/system/files/eSTAR4_geant_geometry.png
         Looks good, need to zoom out more to see the FCS, 
         in geant geometry, we don't have forward tracking or BSO. 
         news this morning with FCS

  iv) simulations 
  v) R&D activities and future options 
  vi) collaboration evolution 

3) pp500 jet in FCS study (Renee)

Data Filtering

Certain runs have been observed to display data that was introduced during periods in which the detector was malfunctioning.
