ALICE luminosity determination for pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV

Luminosity determination in ALICE is based on visible cross sections measured in van der Meer scans. In 2015, the Large Hadron Collider provided proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV. A van der Meer scan was performed in August 2015, where the cross section was mea...

description Luminosity determination in ALICE is based on visible cross sections measured in van der Meer scans. In 2015, the Large Hadron Collider provided proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV. A van der Meer scan was performed in August 2015, where the cross section was measured for two classes of visible interactions, based on particle detection in the ALICE luminometers: the T0 detector with pseudorapidity coverage $4.6<\eta< 4.9$, $-3.3<\eta<-3.0$ and the V0 detector with pseudorapidity coverage $2.8<\eta< 5.1$, $-3.7<\eta<-1.7$. This document describes the experimental set-up and the analysis procedure used for such a measurement. In addition, the long-term stability and consistency of the vdM-based calibration of the luminometers is discussed.
