STAR QA Board

[Frank Geurts <geurts@rice.edu>]

Hi,

Here’s an email follow-up on the points raised in today’s Run-21 QA meeting 
regarding future PWG QA reports. These reports are very useful and will serve 
as a first step towards establishing the bad-run lists. 

To make this a more meanigful exercise I would like to encourage the PWG QA 
delegates to take their recent QA work back to the respective PWGs and 
discuss the criteria that should be used in flagging good/bad runs. In the 
pas weeks we have often seen 3-sigma ranges but as we are now about 1/3 into 
this run we should look at more sophisticated criteria. As Daniel suggested 
identifying what constitutes “outliers" is likely better than a blanket  
3-sigma range.

I have cc:’d the STAR PWG list to bring this also to the attention of the 
conveners so that they can reserve some time in one of their weekly PWG 
meetings.

Thanks,
 -Frank
