Theoretical error of luminosity cross section at LEP
نویسنده
چکیده
The aim of this note is to characterize briefly main components of theoretical error of the small angle Bhabha measurement at LEP and to discuss critically how solid these estimates really are, from todays perspective. We conclude that the existing theoretical error of the LEP luminometer process (small angle Bhabha) is rather solid, and we add some new discussion concerning the remaining uncertainties and prospects of the future improvements toward the ≤ 0.025% precision.

We use the spinor methods of the CALKUL collaboration, as realized by Xu, Zhang and Chang, to calculate the differential cross section for e + e − → e + e − + 2γ for c.m.s. energies in the SLC/LEP regime. An explicit complete formula for the respective cross section is obtained. The leading log approximation is used to check the formula. Applications of the formula to high precision luminosity ...

A summary of the W-boson properties measured by the four LEP collaborations is presented here. These properties are updated to take into account the most recent results presented at the ICHEP98 Conference. 1 WW cross sections and W branching fractions After the period of running at the Z, the centre-of-mass energy of LEP has been progressively increased from 161 GeV, i.e., just above the W pair...
متن کاملPerformance of the Opal Si-w Luminometer at Lep I-ii
The LEP ee collider at CERN operated for more than a decade: in 198995 at center of mass energies close to the Z peak (LEP-I); in 1996-2000 at higher energies, up to 209 GeV (LEP-II). In the first phase a large number of Z events were collected, of the order of 5 × 10 events per experiment. To match the inherent precision of this data sample, the error on the integrated luminosity had to be bet...
