In most of the past meeting there were RIKEN participants. I didn’t call
in the meeting last night (in Japanese time) I had planned to call in
but didn’t as I didn’t feel well.
Not to worry, the Friday before Christmas is not when we have to make our final decisions, and isn't the only forum for these discussions, but in the next few days, I will send something to this tracking list encouraging participation in the deliberations and work needed to fully define the sPHENIX tracking system over the next few months, and as you point out below, there is a lot going on at RIKEN that we collectively need to take account of. Feel better.
I looked the slides of “Developing a spec for fake track rates” I think
to develop the spec is very important. Also important is to optimize
cuts to reject fake tracks. I discussed on this with Mike M at the
sPHENIX collaboration meeting and suggested a few things that are not
included in the current code to reject fakes.
I can also report status of SiTracker development at RIKEN.
-The design of HDI is basically complete. We received ACAD file of the
design from the FPC company.
-We plan to run simulation of the HDI. For FVTX such simulation was very
important. Ming said a LANL engineer who worked on the FVTX simulation
is available. We will start the paperwork needed to do it soon.
-Meantime, Nakagawa-san is working at RIKEN on the contract for HDI
fabrication. This was delayed due to some bureaucratic reason at RIKEN
but finally it is almost done. It should be completed in early next week
and bidding process will start.
Sincerely yours,
Y. Akiba

Hi All,
We had two talks in the tracking meeting today, see the notes below.
Cheers
Tony
Developing a spec for fake track rates for each physics topic- Mike
McCumber and Tony Frawley
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mike and I discussed the proposed process for developing a fake track
specification for sPHENIX for each physics topic. This would then be
used to decide how the tracker has to be configured.
We also asked for volunteers to work on the fast simulation for the
physics topic(s) that they are most interested in. Please contact Mike
and me.
Space Charge Calculations- Tom Hemmick
---------------------------------------------------------
Tom discussed the status of the space charge distortion simulations for
the TPC.
Mike: What about the time dependence of the space charge?
Tom: Within an event the space charge is fixed, but from event to event
we will have fluctuations in the space charge distribution.
We can assume a constant shape, scale with luminosity (STAR) - use power
draw from power supplies to infer luminosity.
ALICE plans to use the TPC's time history of gain stage charge - ALICE
thinks the STAR approach will not be adequate for them
The space charge formula contains 2 pieces - primary ionization and ion
backflow
The primary ionization is more or less from instantaneous luminosity
The ion backflow cannot be scaled by instantaneous luminosity.
What does the primary ionization structure due to a finite number of
tracks do?
At 50 kHz we will be stacking 5K events - Jamie Dunlop used a Poisson
distribution with a mean of 5000 to study this, and found that
fluctuations were very small.
Tom would like to do that calculation from 1st principles for sPHENIXx
General discussion
---------------------------
John Haggerty: We need to augment the tracking effort through the
tracking meetings.
e.g. RIKEN should participate.
e.g. Dan Cebra worked on homogeneity issues for STAR.
Tom: Suggest John send email to the collaboration pointing to the
meeting agendas, describing what goes on, and asking interested parties
to join.
This body part will be downloaded on demand.
