Description
Luminosity is a measure for the number of collisions that take place in a collider experiment. The higher the luminosity, the more collisions of a process of interest will take place. In this project, we will measure the instantaneous and integrated luminosity of the CMS experiment. To this end, we will analyze the measured rates with several dedicated luminosity detectors and apply the Van-der-Meer scan technique to derive the absolute luminosity scale. The data analysis code will be developed using public python packages.
