Measurement of the absolute luminosity with the ALEPH detector

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields

Abstract

We report on the absolute luminosity measurement performed with the ALEPH detector at LEP. The systematic errors of the measurements in 1990 are estimated to be 0.6% (experimental) and 0.3% (theoretical).
