摘要
We propose a method for determining the absolute luminosity in a colliding-beam experiment at circular accelerators by measuring vertices of beam-gas interaction to determine the beam shapes and overlap. This method can be applied (for example) at all Large Hadron Collider experiments without modification of their detectors. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
