Description
Precise luminosity measurement is essential for the success of the CMS physics program. In this talk, we present the latest results for luminosity measurements from the CMS experiment, including data from Run 2 and Run 3 for both pp and heavy ion collisions. We focus on recent methods to reduce systematic uncertainties that affect the absolute luminosity scale obtained from van der Meer scans, as well as techniques to correct instrumental effects influencing the stability and linearity of luminometers. Additionally, we discuss the use of dimuon event counts as a standard candle for comparing luminosity measurements.
