In scattering theory and accelerator physics, luminosity (L) is the ratio of the number of events detected (N) in a certain time (t) to the interaction cross-section (σ):[1]
It has the dimensions of events per time per area, and is usually expressed in the cgs units of cm−2·s−1 or the non-SI units of b−1·s−1. In practice, L is depends on the particle beam parameters, such as beam width and particle flow rate, as well as the target properties, such as target size and density.[1]
A related quantity is integrated luminosity (Lint), which is the integral of the luminosity with respect to time:[1]
The luminosity and integrated luminosity are useful values to characterize the performance of an particle accelerator. In particular, all collider experiments aim to maximize their integrated luminosities, as the higher the integrated luminosity, the more data is available to analyze.[1]
Examples of collider luminosity
Here are a few examples of the luminosity of certain experiments.[1]
Collider | Interaction | L (cm−2·s−1) |
---|---|---|
SPS | p + [[antiproton|Template:Overline]] | Template:Val |
Tevatron | p + [[antiproton|Template:Overline]] | Template:Val |
HERA | proton + e+ | Template:Val |
LHC | p + p | Template:Val |
LEP | e− + e+ | Template:Val |
PEP | e− + e+ | Template:Val |
KEKB | e− + e+ | Template:Val |
