The beam-gas method for luminosity measurement at LHCb

Hopchev, Plamen

Understand

The high resolution of the LHCb vertex detector makes it possible to perform precise measurements of the vertex positions of beam-gas and beam-beam interactions.

  • With these measurements beam parameters such as width and position can be measured.
  • A novel method for determining the absolute luminosity at the LHC using the directly measured beam parameters is presented.
  • The data taken in 2009 is used to illustrate the procedure.
