85. STAR HLT upgrade and Physics opportunity

Dr Aihong Tang (BNL)

11/16/12, 1:30 PM

The continued increase in RHIC luminosity imposes a challenge for STAR data acquisition, offline computing and data analysis. A High Level Trigger (HLT) provides us with the capability to reduce the amount of data written to tape by selecting desired events while still maintaining a high sampling rate to fully utilize the delivered luminosity for wide range of triggers. In this talk we will ...

71. STAR endcap upgrade for eSTAR

Ming Shao (Univ. of Sci. and Tech. of China)

11/16/12, 1:55 PM

It's proposed that the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC) will be upgraded to form an Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) in the coming decade. At the first stage, the existing two main detectors at RHIC - PHENIX and STAR - will be upgraded correspondingly to better conduct the physics program at an EIC (called ePHENIX and eSTAR). STAR, with outstanding detector power in its barrel part, will...

90. Status Updates on STAR Computing Farm at KISTI

Dr Seo-young Noh (Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information)

11/16/12, 2:20 PM

KISTI and STAR collaboration have been tightly co-working together to open a new Tier 1 service at KISTI. KISTI has been recently upgraded its STAR computing farm to 1024 cores, which is entirely dedicated to STAR community. In this talk, this smooth transition from the old farm to the new one will be covered including system configuration and topology. In addition to this, KISTI’s activities...
