  • BTOW id=3287 hot
  • EMC has been started back up in "staggered" LUT
  • ~30% of monoJets & diJets accepted by L2
  • bemc-http triggers are working correctly for only ~2/3 of the west barrel and only ~1/2 of the east barrel
  • pp @ 200 GeV Switch to Transverse Polarization
    trigger ID's new from 117xxx ---> 127xxx, trigger names the same.
    minbias, zerobias, jpsi, upsilon, muon will all stay with 117xxx
    Modification of L2-algos,Steve

    1) bemc-jp0-etot-mb-L2jet:   prescale factor goes from 10 to 2
    2) eemc-jp0-etot-mb-L2jet:   prescale factor goes from 10 to 2
    3) bemc-http-mb-L2gamma:  L2 parameters change as follows
               HT threshold goes from 3.00 to 3.60 GeV
            cluster threshold goes from 4.79 to 5.8 GeV
    4) eemc-http-mb-L2gamma:  L2 parameters change as follows
               HT threshold goes from 2.90 to 3.40 GeV
            cluster threshold goes from 4.50 to 5.40 GeV
    5) bemc HT2 threshold:  goes from 22 to 24, raising nominal
          threshold from 5.2 to 5.7 GeV, though best BEMC calibration
          implies actual thresholds are ~7% below these values.
    6) eemc HT2 threshold:  goes from 18 to 22, raising threshold
          from 4.2 to 5.2 GeV.

    Apr14-24 No data taken due to the STAR breaker incident
    114 apr 24 Some of spinBits may not work spin8 may be wrong
    114 apr 24 6114008-96 various ETOW problems BTOW had some isses as well
    114 apr 24 6114106+ L2 in/out rates reasonable earlier runs are not bad but need special care
    114 apr 24 ??? One of the Blue beam (up I believe) Spin bits isn't making it to the Scalers or into the Event trigger data.
