1. STAR Upgrade Workshop Dec 13-14, 2011 @ UCLA Organizing Committee: Xin Dong (LBNL), Carl Gagliardi (TAMU), Huan Zhong Huang (UCLA), Ernst Sichtermann (LBNL), Flemming Videbaek (BNL), Anselm Vossen (IU), Nu Xu (LBNL) and Zhangbu Xu (BNL)

2. Heavy Flavor Tracker (2013- 2014) Tracking: TPC Forward Gem Tracker (2011-2012) Electromagnetic Calorimetry: BEMC+EEMC+FMS (-1 ≤  ≤ 4) Particle ID: TOF STAR: A Typical Collider Detector Approved Upgrades: Muon Telescope Detector Roman Pots Phase 2 2 Mid-Rapidity Physics Coverage is almost complete !!

3. STAR Science for the Decade – QM2011 – Carl Gagliardi 3 STAR forward instrumentation upgrade Forward instrumentation optimized for p+A and transverse spin physics – Charged-particle tracking – e/h and γ/π 0 discrimination – Baryon/meson separation FMS FHC ~ 6 GEM disks Tracking: 2.5 < η < 4 RICH Baryon/meson separation Preshower 1/2” Pb radiator Shower “max” proton nucleus ~ 2016+ W powder HCal

4. Not Even a 0 th Configuration Yet ! 1)The tracking detector is not defined -- can be built upon the FGT experiences 2)The PID detector – not enough thinking there yet -- a RICH? What radiator? What read-out? Requirement? 3)The calorimeter detector(s) – options open -- refurbished FMS -- new W-powder calorimeter technology – R&D phase -- some Forward Hadron Calorimeter from E864? -- new calorimeter configuration? Hardware -- Physics Case for the Upgrade -- 1)Strong p+p and p+A Physics, Mostly conceptual 2)Evolution from STAR (pp,pA and AA) towards eSTAR (ep, eA) Start of a series of workshops to develop a coherent STAR effort to follow up on the decadal upgrade plan and eSTAR development !

8. We need more people more ideas to build a strong physics case more people to work on the upgrade CD0 -- build a physics case CD1-- CD2 -- The initial assignment of people for the physics and hardware topics is to get us started – we need more active involvement from everyone – the future of STAR is in your hands now !
