Van der Meer scan luminosity measurement and beam–beam correction
The main method for calibrating the luminosity at Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is van der Meer scan where the beams are swept transversely across each other. This beautiful method was invented in…
Precision luminosity measurements at LHCb
Measuring cross-sections at the LHC requires the luminosity to be determined accurately at each centre-of-mass energy root s. In this paper results are reported from the luminosity calibrations…
Beam Imaging and Luminosity Calibration
We discuss a method to reconstruct two-dimensional proton bunch densities using vertex distributions accumulated during LHC beam-beam scans. The $x$-$y$ correlations in the beam shapes are studied…
LHCb Beam-Gas Imaging Results
The high resolution of the LHCb vertex detector makes it possible to perform precise measurements of vertices of beam-gas and beam-beam interactions and allows beam parameters such as positions,…

Absolute luminosity measurements are of general interest for colliding-beam experiments at storage rings. These measurements are necessary to determine the absolute cross-sections of reaction…
Beam profile measurements based on modern vertex detectors and beam-gas interactions
A novel, non-disruptive technique to measure transverse beam shapes was recently demonstrated by the LHCb experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The technique is based on the detection of…

Measurement of visible cross sections in proton-lead collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV in van der Meer scans with the ALICE detector
In 2013, the Large Hadron Collider provided proton-lead and lead-proton collisions at the center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair root s(NN) = 5.02 TeV. Van der Meer scans were performed for both…

High Precision Scrapers for ISR Luminosity Measurements
Two intersections of the CERN ISR have recently been equipped with beam scrapers. Controlled by computer, they permit the vertical profile of the circulating current intensity to be plotted…
Concept of luminosity
Abstract The performance of particle colliders is usually quantified by the beam energy and the luminosity. We derive the expressions for the luminosity in case of bunched beams in terms of the beam…
