Hi folks,

Thanks for joining us. Minutes are posted on the Indico page ( https://indico.bnl.gov/event/21030/ ) and are also reproduced below - happy for any corrections or elaborations.

Sasha L - Production System
— 
Slide 3 - one day for full pass of all data with detailed template fitting

Anthony H - Production Details
—
Zhaozhong: from MVTX side, want to analyze MBD+ZDC data from Run-23. 
-> See the linked directories - filenames have run numbers and production tag. In the near future, will set up more infrastructure with pandas, file catalog, etc. 

Raghav: what should be done for papers in progress? 
-> Eventually move to new productions. Data structure will remain the same, so should be plug and play. 

Ejiro: question about selection criteria in scripts. 
-> Still in flux.

JaeBeom: clarification of RHIC2023-sPHENIX-CALOR contents
-> p001 is a test production with towers only, p002 is another test production, this latest production will eventually appear as p003 ( immediately available at Sasha’s link here: /sphenix/lustre01/sphnxpro/commissioning/DSTv3 ). Sasha L: note that at the moment, this directory contains pandas and also manual production output. 
-> TODO: mailing list / TWiki announcement for data production. 

Blair: ran jet reconstruction over these, but didn’t work due to lack of global vertex map
-> Global vertex map should be there in the near future. Joe just merged new vertex stuff. 
-> Who is a good jet contact? Virginia. 

Justin: what is the fixed timing cut? 
-> Only for plots on Slide 4, not on by default in DST production.

Dan L - centrality calibration
— 
Follow up offline with MBD group on details of checking calibration, next steps on timing/vertex. This is a key technical issue for the Collaboration. 

Ejiro: on slide 6 - let’s follow up on Mattermost. 

How to propagate to analyzers? 
-> MinBias classifier object, then CentralityInfo gives percentile (& geometric quantities). Calibration has run by run overall calibration on MB 

Slide 8: some of the big outliers are just magnetic field runs, could also be very different trigger configurations.
