August 3, 2010

Present: Bernd, Rosi, Justin, Ross, Jan
Agenda:

1. Carl's question about tau background for paper ver 2.0
   1. Short answer: NO, "Pythia does not include spin effects", Pythia 8.4, manual page 265
   2. Simu polarized tau decay at LHC Peskin, 2007 , page 17
   3. Pythia+TAUOLA example MC-TESTER , page 9
   4. TAUOLA, 2005 can be used w/ Pythia
   5. hadronic tau decay @ LHC
2. TPC working point for pp500 in run 11 Gene
   Questions:
   1. how do I convert the X-axis in to instantaneous luminosity?
   2. how do I convert the Y-axis in to separation between +/- charge for high pT tracks.
   3. how can I infer loss of efficiency (and reco pT degradation) due to lost not-deconvoluted clusters.
3. more on BG(eta) from run 9 , Jan
4. status of EEMC slow simu
5. run 11 preparation: FOM , Jan
