  Agenda:

    1)    NPE and e-h Results, publications - Huan, Bedanga, ...
    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

      future runs; (ii) TPC: operation team including software issue. Jim should be part of the solution; (iii) FTPC team: A student from India group (VECC),

      with the help of Terry, J. Syboth and P. Syboth; (iv) Future upgrade scheduling and integrations.

  3) QM09 Proceedigns: potential issues with the eta/s analysis (BulkCorr) and Jet reconstruction (JetCorr).

 

  Notes:

   1) STAR TPC Review (key= star2009),  June 4,5, BNL. Ron Settler (chair). Review report.

   2) NPE Committee, H. Huang (chair)
