Descripción
Sumario:LUCID is the luminosity monitor of the LHC accelerator for the ATLAS experiment. Thanks to an intrinsically fast response and to its custom readout electronics, LUCID estimates the number of interactions per LHC bunch crossing and provides an interaction trigger to the experiment. The performance of LUCID is evaluated in the full luminosity range of LHC (up to 10^34 cm^-1 s^-1) by means of a PYTHIA simulation of inelastic pp collisions at 7 TeV and a full GEANT4 simulation of the detector.
