6. QCD Meeting Dec 13, 2002 Allocation of new disk space Here are the assignments (each area is ~1 TB): Physics group UNIX group Filesystem ------------- ---------- ---------- ewk cdfpewkd /cdf/data54/ewk top cdfptopd /cdf/data60/top exotics cdfpexod /cdf/data61/exotic qcd cdfpqcdd /cdf/data62/qcd bottom cdfpbotd /cdf/data63/bottom The Physics Coordinator, Tony Liss, has indicated that a decision has been made on the division of disk among the physics groups. Glenn, please allocate an additional 1 TB to each of the five physics groups on fcdfsgi2: ewk cdfpewkd top cdfptopd exotics cdfpexod qcd cdfpqcdd bottom cdfpbotd This brings the toal allocated disk totals on fcdfsgi2 to cdfpewkd 1 TB cdfptopd 3.0 TB cdfpexod 3.1 TB cdfpqcdd 3.35 TB cdfpbotd 4.25 TB where 2.0 TB of the disk in cdfptopd is being shared by top and ewk.

7. QCD Meeting Dec 13, 2002 Joint Physics Meeting Agenda Pre-blessing of High-Pt muon ID and trigger efficiencies - Michael Schmitt Status of good run bits in the DB and how to use them - Rob Snihur Understanding COT SL2 "questionable" runs - Young-Kee Kim

8. QCD Meeting Dec 13, 2002 CDF/D0 jet meeting There will be a joint CDF/D0/theory jet meeting on Monday Dec. 16 from 9 AM-1 PM in One-West. We will take advantage of the presence that week of Zoltan Nagy to discuss evaluations of k T jet cross sections. In addition, we will finalize the changes to the mid-point jet algorithm and discuss the implications of these changes (led by Steve Ellis). The meeting will also be carried by live-streaming. CDF/D0/Theory jet workshop Dec. 16, 2002 http://www.pa.msu.edu/~huston/jet_meeting/jet_meeting.html Live streaming is available here.
