Fill pattern in 04
eCloud 04, Apr 2004
STAR and PHENIX had both *=1m
For most of the run the abort gap was aligned such that it crossed in PHENIX and BRAHMS
Needs to be corrected for to compare experiments
=> ~7% less expected collision rates in STAR
Blue gap
Yellow gap

Pressure evolution during a store in STAR and PHOBOS
Evolution in store is very different (?). Causes unacceptable backgrounds in PHOBOS and high trigger rates in STAR

Summary
eCloud 04, Apr 2004
The ZDCs are a detector with very small background contributionsDue to automatic luminosity optimization expected coincidence are very well knownPressure rise due to EC is a problem not only at PHOBOSPressure evolution is quite different at PHOBOS and STARAccidental collision rate is consistent with beam-gas and can be calculated to benchmark different models for EC simulations
