Concept of luminosity

چکیده
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 parameters and the geometry. The implications of additional features such as crossing angle, offsets and hourglass effect on the luminosity are calculated. Important operational aspects like integrated luminosity, space and time structure of interactions etc. are discussed. The measurement of luminosity for e+e− as well as hadron colliders and the methods for the calibration of the absolute luminosity are described.

LINEAR PULSATION CHARACTERISTICS OF MIRA VARIABLE STARS
The linear adiabatic pulsation-periods of Mira variable stars have been derived. Approximately 2701[1]models were calculated for M = 0.7 MΘ to 2 MΘ stars with radii from 180 RΘ to 340 RΘ and luminosities from 2800 LΘ to 10,000 LΘ. The chemical composition of all models is (X,Z) = (0.7,0.02). From the result of this study, linear relations on Luminosity-Period-Mass relationship and luminosity-pe...
متن کاملMultifractality as a Link between Luminosity and Space Distribution of Visible Matter
We discuss how luminosity and space distribution of galaxies are naturally linked in view of their multifractal properties. In particular we show that the mass (luminosity) function corresponding to a multifractal distribution in a given observed volume, consists of a power law followed by an exponential cut-off. This implies that the amplitude φ of the Schechter function scales with the sample...
متن کاملProgress Toward A High-Energy, High-Luminosity p§ Collider
In the past two years, considerable progress has been made in development of the p§ collider concept. This collider concept could permit exploration of elementary particle physics at energy frontiers beyond the reach of currently existing and proposed electron and hadron colliders. As a benchmark prototype, we present a candidate design for a high-energy high-luminosity lJ§ collider, with E~m "...
متن کاملCrab Waist Collisions in Daφne and Super-b Design
The new idea of increasing the luminosity of a collider with crab waist collisions and first experimental results from the DAΦNE Φ-Factory at LNF, Frascati, using this concept are presented. Consequences for the design of future factories will be discussed. An outlook to the performance reach with crab waist collisions is given, with emphasis on future B Factories. INTRODUCTION A novel collisio...
متن کاملRest-frame variability of quasars and Seyfert galaxies in the ultraviolet: constraints on the discrete-event models
A study of the ultraviolet continuum variability (Paltani & Courvoisier 1994) has shown that the relative variability of quasars and Seyfert galaxies decreases when the luminosity increases. The spectral information included in the IUE spectra allows us to study this dependence in the rest frame of the objects. The trend is strengthened by the general property that active galactic nuclei varymo...
