  • Shutdown progress. So far going OK.
    • Shipping/handling issues at BNL - long delays causing potential issues for installation
    • Short shutdown means EEMC won't have time to do maintenance
  • EToF internal readiness review - Scheduled for Monday Sept. 16. Committee in place, agenda and charge almost complete
  • Production and Calibration:
    • Run-5 Cu+Cu started
    • Run-18 Fixed target. T0 of TPC calibration ongoing. Probably not ready for DNP, speaker(s) aware
    • Run-18 Au-Au 27: Still some issues with some bad runs, work ongoing to exclude them
    • Run-19 7.7: calibrations ongoing. 19.6: calibrations on space-charge, grid leak ongoing. New Temple student being trained.
    • Run-17 pp 510: Seems to be fill-to-fill issues. Hope to correct via space-charge/grid leak corrections
  • Embedding
    • Run-16 SL17dembed: Too few hits/track in the embedding compared to data. Fix still being worked on, if farm become free might try embedding with bug and then reproduce when fix made.
    • Run-18 Au-Au 27: iTPC sector row number simulation not matched to real data. Now fixed and embedding started

cumulants of net-charge, net-proton and net-kaon 54.4 GeV (remote)

SL17d_embed simulated low-eta tracks

It has been reported that SL17d_embed indicates a significant reduction in hits-on-tracks for low absolute η (i.e. near mid-rapidity) tracks.
