Title: Longitudinal double spin asymmetry for inclusive jet and dijet production in proton-proton collisions at \sqrt{s} = 510 GeV
PWG: Spin/ColdQCD
PAs: Zilong Chang, Renee Fatemi, Carl Gagliardi, Suvarna Ramachandran
Proposed target journal: PRD

Presentation: https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/system/files/PaperPreview_2012JetsDijets.pptx
Analysis note: https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/system/files/AnalysisNote_3.pdf

- Brief introduction from the PWG conveners (5’) [Oleg]
- Paper proposal (15')  [Zilong]
- Paper proposal (15')  [Suvarna]
- Open discussions (35')
- Summary from the conveners' panel (5’)

2. PWG feedbacks on Run14 AuAu200 noHFT picoDst
JetCorr: raw ADC for all towers, 
HF: 
S&C keeps time line

3. Embedding - Xianglei
1) Run16AuAu200 pi/K/p by HF - 1 week.
2) Run16AuAu200 Upsilon->dimuon by HF, 1.5M, - 2 weeks.
3) Run14AuAu200 pi noHFT by JetCorr, 2M - 2 weeks.
4) BulkCorr
Roli's requests, in total 1M 0-20% central AuAu 200 GeV events, 2 weeks.
Toshihiro's request, 
20180506, 2.5M with 1.2M central, complicated setups, 3-4 weeks
20180507, 3M central, 4-5 weeks
Nalinda's request, 2M min.bias AuAu200 GeV, 2 weeks

In considering the limitation of DB servers at PDSF/Cori that we can not run too many jobs in parallel (1000 jobs at most). We will try to update the embedding framework to overcome the DB limitations, 
but this will also need time and the improvement is uncertain.

PWG: BulkCorr
PAs: Gary Westfall, Terry Tarnowsky
Proposed target journal:  Phys Rev C

- Brief introduction from the PWG conveners (5’) [Bill]
- Paper proposal (15')  [Gary]
- Open discussions (35')
- Summary from the conveners' panel (5’)

2) PWG needs for DIS2018 and QM2018
- data production

- picoDst
1. Run15 pp200 st_mtd by LFSUPC 
2. Run14AuAu200 HT2 and MB NoHFT by JetCorr
3. Run16AuAu200 st_physics by HF -> ADC0 for only matched towers or for all towers?

- embedding
1. Run16AuAu200 pi/K/p by HF: waiting for ticket #3271. 1 week needed.
2. Run16AuAu200 Upsilon->dimuon by HF: waiting for ticket #3271. 1-2 weeks needed.
3. Run14AuAu200 pi noHFT by JetCorr: waiting for ticket #3271. 1-2 weeks needed.
4. Run14AuAu200 Deuteron/He3 by LFSUPC: not started. 1 week is needed.
5. Run14AuAu14.5 Triton by LFSUPC: completed
6. Run12Cu+Au200 Pion in Hijing by LFSUPC: This is a pure simulation request, should be handled by the simulation team (Jason?), not the embedding team.
7. Run11AuAu19 proton by BulkCorr: The first request is under full production, almost done. the request #2 will take 2 weeks production time. 
8. Run5Cu+Cu200/62.4/22.4 p/pbar by BulkCorr: not sure whether this request can be processed, since the old STAR libraries are not available anymore in both PDSF/RCF.
9. Run11Au+Au200 Lambda/antiLambda by BulkCorr: done
