sPHENIX discussion of physics

["Huang, Jin" <jhuang AT bnl.gov>]

Dear Collaborators

We had a productive day-1 of preQM meeting! Today, we will start with QM25 plenary talk rehearsal by Christof Roland starting at 10AM EDT, which is followed by PPG04 and performance approval sessions. Zoom link and recording at https://indico.bnl.gov/event/26857/ 

Best regards

Jin & Megan

Dear Collaborators

Please join our preQM meeting week, starting soon at Monday 9AM EDT: https://indico.bnl.gov/event/26857/  . The Monday session starts with a brief collaboration status update, followed by parallel QM25 talk rehearsal and PPG09 approval. 

• This preQM meeting is a zoom-based event. Zoom link on indico page above.  
• For collaborators at BNL, Physics building room 2-219 is reserved for the preQM week. 
• sPHENIX 1008 Conference may be used by collaborators joining preQM while working on the run, though the room use will prioritize Run25 related activity. 

Looking forward to talking to you soon

Best regards

Jin & Megan

Subject: Collaboration events in the next days

 

Dear Collaborators

As the run and QM activity ramp up, we are writing to remind you again of a few exciting events in the coming week.  

• PPG ConfNote commenting periods ending: 

• PPG-09 inclusive jets in p+p, comment deadline today, https://sphenix-invenio.sdcc.bnl.gov/records/00nre-xdn68 
• PPG-04 underlying event in Au+Au, comment deadline tomorrow, https://sphenix-invenio.sdcc.bnl.gov/records/dfgeh-d6p63 

Friday Mar 28, Noon @ 1008: start of run Taco party. 

Monday/Tue Mar 31/Apr 1st: potential for first collision and start of beam studies, followed by physics data taking 

Monday-Thu Mar 31-Apr 3: preQM meeting

• Indico: https://indico.bnl.gov/event/26857/ , starting Monday 9AM
• For BNL participants, primary room: Physics building 2-219, satellite room: BNL 1008 conference room (at lower priority than run-related events)

Sunday Apr 6: QM25 in person rehearsal at conference site (at student day venue). Details to come.

We will NOT have Physics Coordination Meeting, General Meeting and preGeneral Meeting this/next/QM week, given the Run start and QM meetings. Nonetheless, we will give news introduction with brief run report slides at the beginning of preQM meeting

We would like to thank our collaborators working hard preparing the impressive set of new results for QM25 and those dedicated for Run25! Hope to see you soon at one of the events.

Best regards

Jin & Megan for Management Team

Subject: [[Sphenix-l] ] Pre-pre-QM Week announcements

 

Hi sPHENIX colleagues,

Here are a few announcements and reminders related to physics approvals as we head closer to the Quark Matter conference: 

* We have two Preliminary physics results approvals in the next two days: 

PPG-08 dijets in p+p, Wednesday 10:30am BNL time, https://indico.bnl.gov/event/27347/ 

PPG-12 isolated photons in p+p, Thursday 11am BNL time, https://indico.bnl.gov/event/27350/ 

* Two draft conference notes are currently circulating: 

PPG-04 underlying event in Au+Au, comment deadline this Friday, https://sphenix-invenio.sdcc.bnl.gov/records/dfgeh-d6p63 

PPG-09 inclusive jets in p+p, comment deadline this Thursday, https://sphenix-invenio.sdcc.bnl.gov/records/00nre-xdn68 

(Links to all draft IANs and conference notes are available at https://wiki.sphenix.bnl.gov/index.php/AnalysisTracking ) 

* We will not hold what would be our normally scheduled Physics Coordination Meeting this Friday.

* For those at BNL, Run Coordinator Rosi Reed is arranging a Start of the Run Taco Party, this Friday 28 March, at 12pm in 1008 [1]

* Next week, we have a pre-QM week agenda for further physics and performance approvals, talk rehearsals, etc. The Indico page (still under development with the specific agenda) is here: https://indico.bnl.gov/event/26857/ 

Dennis, for the SP team
