Luminosity Studies in ATLAS

During the course of this summer I've been tasked with many dierent assignments working with the ATLAS Luminosity Taskforce. My main project was related to updating a PyROOT script that in Run1 was responsible for making comparison plots of the measured luminosity of subsystem detectors at ATLAS, and making it compatible with the new les used to store the data. The main purpose of this script was to enable an easy method for which one could get a quick overview of the measured luminosity over many runs such that one could see the stability of the subsystem detectors. This is useful to determine if there is any issues with the detectors so that one could investigate it further. The comparison plots can now be seen on the 2015 Run Data Preparation webpage.
