December'05 3 days | check/correction of tower HV method & code tested last year | Julie | Jan, IUCF |
December'05 3 days | check/correction of MAPMT HV method & code tested last year | Julie | Jan, IUCF |
2 months | L2 algo enhancing low energy gammas & jets *simulation of EEMC response & jet reco in root4star * programming of actual L2 processors, verify all data & calibration are available on-line | Jan, Steve | Steve, IUCF |
December'05 | simulation of Endcap trigger Extended existing Barrel code over Endcap | Renee | Steve, IUCF |
before 100th STAR run | online monitoring software
* record EPICS DB in online STAR DB (2 days of work) * Endcap in Pplot (all as is) * Endcap response from trigger data (all as is) | Jan, IUCF | |

---|---|---|---|---|
thesis project | pi0/gamma discrimination essential for direct gamma A_LL measurement | IUCF high priority | ||
thesis project | reco of direct gamma in the Endcap | Adam | Bernd, MIT | |
thesis project | reco of jets for eta [0.8,2.] needs to deal with the service gap, MIP/hadron shower corrections, inefficient tracking at eta >1.4 | Xin, IUCF | Steve, IUCF | |
thesis projects | e/h discrimination , essential for W, J/Psi reconstruction | Naresh Subba | Bryon Anderson ,Kent | |
Valpo | donald.koetke@valpo.edu | |||
3 months | reco of the beam background (tracks parallel to z-axis), essential to correct Xsection for the Endcap pi0s | Pibero, Jason | ||
2 months | reco of prim tracks at eta>1.4 the plan is to develop Sti based tracker using vertex and leftover TPC hits as seed. Once it works Endcap information will be folded in. | Adam, Jan | Jan, IUCF | |
many months | tracking improvements in the region eta > 1.35 using information from
the EEMC and possibly the SVD | Valpo+MIT | ||
5 days | Endcap embedding core software done, in peer review , unsolved issue: integration with TPC embedding | Wei-Ming, Jason, Jan | Jan,IUCF | |
1 month | trigger bias for Endcap jets | Renee, Jim | Jim, IUCF | |
few months each | reconstruction of mesons in the Endcap eta-->2gamma, omega-->pi0+gamma, kshort-->2pi0 | Wei-Ming, more welcome | Hal, ANL | |
month..year | offline event display better perception of reconstructed pi0s or gammas | open | Hal, ANL | |
1 year | tower calibration at high energy new ideas expressed in working algos :) | open | ||
some day | M-C towers sampling fraction puzzle
Why it is 4% for M-C and 5% for real events ? Steve: the MEAN value of the Landau energy loss distribution for MIP is of 1.8 MeV/g/cm2, and NOT the most probable value > | open | ||
some day | tune slow SMD simulator add cross talk in fibers, not sure what info can be used to constrain it | open | Hal, ANL |
