=====> Pixels:
... Understand proper noise masks for 3000e
... Develop recommendations to improve ====> This is the main limitation!
... Prepare program of studies for the pit
... Run current SR1 studies (early on week of June 21)

=====> Top X-Section:
... Study ways to reduce QCD background ... isolation ought to help! Brian working on this ...
... Study some QCD radiation effects
... Get more simulation. No one seems to have requested this yet. Right e-mail to James Ferr. to make request with justification.
... Run PEs to demonstrate non-biased, accuracy of errors, linearity. Requires the above.
... Need results from others to understand QCD, Wbb/cc backgrounds properly. Brian may take over some of this.
... Perform MC challenge ===> Brian working on this

=====> Mistags
Data-Comps:
- enrich in b-jets by:
1) using the soft lepton tagger
2) away-jet tagging
3) tagging jet with IP-based tagger

- enrich in light flavor:
1) look at negative tags
2) anti-tag using IP-based tagger (not sure this works...)

New ...
... Start working on note
... Include J0 sample, will probably effect lowest Pt bins in significant way
... Understand differences between tag rates for me/Florian

... Finish running new samples through prescription
... Complete Pt-Eta bin prescription
... Extend truth-matching to IP-based taggers ===> Prepare some slides to discuss with Oklahoma people
... Apply fragmentation prescription
... Request any new samples that are needed ===> Tobias is looking into whether any more realistic misalignment samples are available
... Figure out how to apply J/Psi mass comparisons, etc
... Get alternate fitter => ask Florian again. Done, new fitter works.
... Make data samples and try it out! ==> Changing to use official b-tag ntuples
... Official ntuples are too big to transfer locally. Learn how/prepare code to run over them on the grid. ===> Stripping has been applied
... Write truth-matching tool for official ntuples?
... Understand effects of recent SV0 changes ==> release 15.6.8+: new version of SV0 tagger ... just changed definition of decay length significance
... Update fit templates to use the new definition of SV0 decay length significance

=====> Other
... Write DIS conference proceedings by end of week of Friday the 18th
