Examples of Current Activities (8/98)

1. Hard processes vs nuclear geometry in Au+Au, p+A, impact parameter and associated multiplicity (and/or E_T, ZCAL) dependence:
   • B. Cole, S. Markacs, P. Steinberg, M. Tannenbaum
2. Simple parameterization of s dependence of mid rapidity single inclusive in p-p, \bar{p}-p collisions:
   • P. Steinberg
3. WWW page. Will include public and private (PHENIX only) access
   • Stephen Markacs
4. Gamma/pi separation will be worked on by:
   • K.Adcox, C.Maguire and P. Stankus
5. Back-to-back hadron physics:
   • Paul Stankus, M. Tannenbaum
6. We must work with EMcal & spin to get accurate cluster and physics info for fast MC which will overlay hard processes events on Au+Au with correct physics.
   • Strong overlap with spin group.
7. EMcal response to gamma/pi^0(eta) and hadrons:
   • strong overlap with spin and soft group.
   • EMCal experts: P. Stankus (hard), Y. Goto(spin), G. David (soft)
8. Energy loss in D-Y and other structure fn issues:
   • J. Moss
9. A. Drees will find student for high p_T hadrons (pions)
10. J. Lajoie will start thinking about flavor tagging and correlations in jets
11. C. Maguire will oversee Fast MC incorporating accurate response and accurate hard-scattering physics.
12. A.Petridis will make some improvements in D-Y central arm event generator
13. J. Moss, shadowing with high p_T muons.
    • Strong overlap with `heavy' group.
