Will, run7 plans,
Will, Jan, Endcap startup plan
L2 algos plan: Upsilon+displVartex (by Pibero), modified L2gamma (by Saski & Jason), L2pedMon (by Jan) . some links , not much time to implement
Jason, pi0 from Endcap from 2006 data, efficiency is low
Will, BPRS-East gross mapping problem found, plan to replay data w/ all known corrections.
Scott, Endcap calibration, MIP peak seen in towers, pre,post

Oleg, Barrel electronics
Jason, new display of Endcap points,clusters , code & writeup will be in CVS soon, needs special TTree as input
Jan, embedding of TPC+EMC is working, but ... needs 600MB for execution, code in CVS, awaits perr reviue
Murrad, off-line jet phi anizotrophy for B & E-emc JP triggers
Will, BPRS, suggested correlation between towers & pre-shower swaps, Rory got code from Adam for tracking toward BTOW
Scott, ESMD calibration ready for DB upload, only slopes are used, flavor='slopes'

Jan, TPC+Endcap embedding
is operational for pp2006 chain, missing writup, peer review, few
tricks are needed to run it, ready for teasting of algo not for physics
Adam, run dependence of MIP peak for BTOW shows jump on day 114+5, 5% trend for days 120-170

Scott, Endcap 2006 calibration will be done, status: collecting muDst on the disk
Will, explained most of the BPRS mapping problems as hadrware swaps, photos of hadrware illustrate the causes
Naresh, summary of e/h discrimination in the Endcap (ppt) using TPC, dEdx,E/P, and postE, current contamination 14/1, run out of time

Wei Ming, evaluation of Endcap pi0 efficiency w/ embedding,
Jason, M-C e- tracking has eff=~80% for eta<1.6
Jason, Beam background in Endcap
not seen in 2006, for both: clusters alone & clusters matched
to Pibero's stright through tracks (flag=901)
Adam, ofl-onl BTOW gains, 136 more towers lost mainly due to the isloation cut
Rory, BPRS mapping, identified miss-match patterns: +20 towers, backward mapping Y=-X

The STAR experiment
