PH-EP Seminar: a novel method for measuring the absolute luminosity at the LHC

A novel method for determining the absolute luminosity in a colliding-beam experiment at circular accelerators is discussed. It uses vertex reconstruction of beam-gas interaction to determine the beam shapes and beams overlap. This method could be applied (for example) at the main LHC experiments wi...

Sumario:A novel method for determining the absolute luminosity in a colliding-beam experiment at circular accelerators is discussed. It uses vertex reconstruction of beam-gas interaction to determine the beam shapes and beams overlap. This method could be applied (for example) at the main LHC experiments without modification of their detectors.
