STAR task force for tuning PYTHIA

[Matthew Kelsey <mkelsey AT wayne.edu>]

Hello all,

With the PYTHIA 8 tune paper now published, the tuning activities have 
settled down. However, I just want to pass along that the task-force may now 
stick around as a Monte Carlo tuning focus group. This of course is not 
required, but if you are interested in future studies feel free to stick 
around.  

I foresee some important forward tuning activities, along with some others 
that have been mentioned here and there offline (Herwig, jet substructure, 
etc.). I have also proposed that we can also serve as a point-of-contact for 
RIVET questions/problems within STAR (seeing how we have all became very 
familiar).

For now we won’t re-instate the weekly meetings, but if anyone wants to bring 
up something of interest, please let me know and we can have a dedicated 
meeting. I think we can meet on a need-be basis. 

Cheers,
Matt
