  Agenda:

1) Run10 Plan from S. Vigdor: doc, pdf files.

Our response:

Dear Steve,

Thank you for the draft run10 plan. We discussed your plan today, and would like to point out that it differs substantially from the PAC
recommendation. I think if it is indeed realized, we will not be able to complete the goals of RHIC beam energy scan program in a timelyfashion.  At some energies, we are not scheduled to take data at all in Run 10 or 11. I am afraid that if your plan is implemented we will fail to demonstrate our seriousness about the BES to our collaborators, for many of whom this BES has renewed excitement about RHIC program.

In the attached table, we lay out an alternative plan, as STAR’s response to your proposal, for both 25- and 30-cryo week scenarios.
We believe that this alternative is more in keeping with the priorities laid out in the PAC recommendations.  I would like to
emphasize that a week or so test with 7.7 GeV Au+Au collisions is crucial for the BES program. There are a number of questions about
machine performance, such as rates and collimation, and experimental performance, such as triggering, backgrounds, and vertex spot size, for
which this test is vital.  This test must be done in order to plan for  the long 7.7 GeV run in Run 11.

 I hope that we will have a chance to discuss further before you make a final decision on this important run.

    2)    The next STAR Decadal Plan -  Nu

    3)    AOB

* --====================================================================--*

               Brief Summary:

  0) Attendency: Olga, Jerome, Jamie, Flemming, Helen, Xin, Nu, Bedanga

  1) NPE issues: (i) The management feels there more issues to be addressed by the task force. Based on the discussion and Huan's report at the last

      Analysis Meeting, the management will send a note to the task force. A list of specific checks will be included in the note.   (ii) WIll send a message to

      Editor at PRL regarding STAR paper "Charmed hadron production at low transverse momentum in Au+Au collisions at RHIC" submitted on May

      4th, 2008, 0805.0364. Inform the Editor that we are doing internal cross-checks and the process may take sometime to complete.

  2) S&T review issues: (i) Timely funding and scheduling for R&D at RHIC. RHIC performance for polarized pp collisions, we will request 30 cryo-weeks for
