4. HFT operation mode in run16 Limitation of options in operation mode <55KHz to reduce deadtime and LU rate Store length for optimized luminosity Perform dynamic beta* squeeze Projection from this mode: 1.8nb -1 /week delivered for MTD and 2 billion MB for HFT requires 13 weeks of operation run14 Run16 projection RHIC Machine Efficiency not Luminosity, STAR Operation and Optimization Are keys to achieve this goal.
