Elastic Cross-Section and Luminosity Measurement in ATLAS at LHC
نویسنده
چکیده
Recently the ATLAS experiment was complemented with a set of ultra-small-angle detectors located in “Roman Pot” inserts at 240m on either side of the interaction point, aiming at the absolute determination of the LHC luminosity by measuring the elastic scattering rate at the Coulomb Nuclear Interference region. Details of the proposed measurement the detector construction and the expected performance as well as the challenges involved are discussed here.

Precision luminosity measurement at LHC using two - photon production of μ + μ − pairs
The application of the two-photon process pp → pp+μμ for the luminosity measurements at LHC with the ATLAS detector is considered. The expected accuracy of the absolute offline luminosity determination is 1 ÷ 2 % for the luminosity range of 10 ÷10 cm s. The preliminary cross section estimates done for LHCb promise the same level of the luminosity measurement accuracy at L = 2 · 10 cm s.

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will provide proton-proton collisions for the experiments installed at the interaction points (IP). The ATLAS detector is designed to detect high pt reactions and will focus on the discovery of the Higgs boson and new physics. However ATLAS is now also complemented by detectors in the very forward region to measure small angle elastic scattering. This will give a...
