Agenda:

1) FMS preshower status (Oleg)

2) town Meeting Recap: cold/hot QCD
hotQCD and coldQCD jointly recommend
EIC as the highest priority for future

4) S&T review close-out
    STAR dataset time from data-taken to publication
    S&T committee is concerned about this.
    Both Elke (spin) and I (HI/STAR) were asked to present this in
    two different sessions.
    Three action items:
    I) HFT operation for next two runs
       continue communications to DOE

Friday, 5 September 2014
SeeVogh# 100 7671, BNL room 1-189, at 15:00 (GMT), duration : 01:30

Agenda:

1) LRP Town Meeting executive summary relevant to STAR

2) Upgrade projects/Workshop

2b) HFT CD4 review report
https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/system/files/1407%20STAR%20HFT%20rpt_0.pdf
should I announce it to STAR.

3) S&T review STAR talk

New results and accomplishments
Results from beam energy scan
Results from and plans for future running with HFT, MTD
Evolution of useful luminosity and high-rate data collection efficiency for STAR
STAR Decadal Plan

The following is what I sent to Raimond, should we do the same for other speakers?

Will it be more productive if experts in related subjects in this list contact the speakers
respectively?

Email I sent to Raimond:

“Public documents on STAR’s whitepapers and plans for the future:

1) BUR for run15 and run16 and talks at PAC meeting in June (cover now to 2016):

https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/starnotes/public/sn0606

https://indico.bnl.gov/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=764

skip a year

2) BES II whitepaper (2018--2019 possible 2020):

https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/starnotes/public/sn0598

3) pp/pA document (2020+)

https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/starnotes/public/sn0605

4) eSTAR LOI (2025+)

https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/starnotes/public/sn0592

5) older document of STAR decadal plan (2010--2020):

http://www.bnl.gov/npp/docs/STAR_Decadal_Plan_Final[1].pdf

6) STAR publication list:
https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/publications/

Let me know if you need anything else.

“ (end of email)

Hot QCD and Spin related discussions in LRP plenary session (who is talking about this)
   Proposal is to contact Roy Holt and Naomi Makins
Elke has been in contact with Roy Holt.
   Should we contact all the speakers and provide information:

   other talks related to hot QCD:
   a)Krishna Rajagopal (open questions in theory)
   b)Swagato Mukherjee (lattice QCD for RHIC and LHC)
   c)Mikhail Stephanov (studying the QCD phase diagram via BES)

d) Bjoern Schenke (standard model of QGP theory)

   d) Raimond Snellings (standard model of QCD experiments)
   e) Hanna Petersen (Dynamical modeling at low collision energy and high mu_b)
   f) community inputs (short presentations) dilepton and LPV

g) Zhong-bo Kang (p+A at RHIC and LHC)

h)John Lajoie (p+A experiments at RHIC and LHC)

i)Xin-nian Wang (jet theory)

j) Guther Roland (Jet experiments)

   k) Jamie Nagle (jet RHIC)
   g) joint session
      Bill Zajc (RHIC and LHC overview)

5) 2020+ Heavy-Ion Program at top energies (is STAR done?)
    I was asked the question again at the spokespersons' meeting?
    What do we want to do?
There was not a strong argument to increase the statistics
from what we have by a factor of 2.
    In our Decadal and eSTAR plan, we have penciled in possible HFT'
    for high-rate readout and possible heavy-flavor tagged jet, but
    nothing really specific than that.

6) Long Quadupole Paper by Trainor
    I have attached all the communications I know.
    It has been discussed at GPC, previous management, council,
    starpapers, volunteer (Dan), and now at starpapers

The committee (chaired by Olga Evdokimov) has documented its findings and recommendations in the following STAR note:

https://drupal.star.bnl.gov/STAR/starnotes/private/psn0611

Renee was an ex-officio member of this committee and will join our meeting today to discuss this report. Her slides can be found here:

2) Production Priorities

3) AOB
- STAR talks at CPOD'14. So far only one contributed asbtract.
- STAR Collaboration Meeting: how many sessions do the PWGs expect to need and what joint meetings are considered.
