STAR Protected
Run 10 MDC, testing data rate to HPSS
General
At every HPSS software revision (API changes), the experiment re-test the data bandwidth to ensure rates and functionality under a minimal test period of 24 hours, can be sustaine

HOWTO: Perform basic sanity checks on pythia in starsim
HOWTO: Check for overlaps / extrusions in a geometry using TGeoChecker
Root's TGeoChecker class provides some useful functions to check for errors in geometries.

Phone Bridge: +1 626 395 2112 (CA) / +1 631 344 6100 (NY) // ID: 39499 // Password: 0952
Time: 11 AM - 12 PM EDT
* --===================================================================--*
Agenda:
1) Run10 preparation: Bill
2) LPV news release discussion - Draft(V3).doc and comments from Jack: Jack_message.pdf; Jack_release.doc
3) STC candidates and LFSpectra PWG co-convener candidate - Nu
4) Publication policy - Jerome
*--====================================================================--*
Brief Summary:
0) Attendency: Olga, Flemming, Jerome, Jamie, Nu, Bill, Helen
1) Run10 status: STAR is progressing smoothly. By Saturday, TPC laser will be ready; Magnet on over the weekend.
Run10 trigger: data volume for 62 GeV // PMD data:
CAD: beam in Blue. Thursday evening, beam will be in Yellow.
2) LPV news release: make a merged version and send it to Steve et al.
3) Publication policy seems not work at the moment. Should modify the policy?
PWG: ? Council representative at each group? Policy amendment?
Nu: (i) Ask STC chair to cc the nomination to each council representative; (ii) encourage PWG co-conveners
pay more attention on talks; (iii) Bedanga summarize the responsibilities at each stage of a STAR talk, start
tracking.

Weight analysis of the new TPC geometry
Geometry Differential: y2006g vs y2006h
Material balance in y2006g (old model of the TPC), averaged over 30 degrees in phi. Daughter volumes one level below the mother volume are displayed.
Z sample invariant mass
At Matt Walker's request, I re-ran the code that computes the Z invariant mass from the 500GeV L2W data, using 'ofl' gains instead of 'sim' that had been used before.
SC and GL TPC Calibration pp200 2009
For graduate students performing the Space Charge and Grid Leak calibration for future runs, you will find a how-to-guide in the attached pdf file.
Comparison of Victor's AgSTAR TPC geometry and Yuri's Root/TGeo TPC geometry
Geometry Differential Framework [third test, material balance for TPCe04]
Abstract: To further test the prototype geometry differential framework, it is useful to examine the latest version of the TPC geometry using Yuri's ROOT/TGeo/VMC implementation.
STAR upgrade meeting
Brookhaven National Lab, ITD conference room, at 14:00 (GMT), duration : 09:30
The meeting will focus on the newer proposed upgrades, presentations, observation from the review committees, and how this all fits into the broader picture of the future program
