Session 1: Theoretical and experimental prospects and challenges

29 Feb 2012, 09:00

Description

1) assessment of the impact of the 2011 luminosity determinations on the physics programme: (a) W/Z/top cross sections, (b) total cross sections
2) status of indirect measurements of luminosity: (a) lum-independent total Xsection, (b) pp->pp lept lept
3) prospects for 2012: physics-driven requirements for further improvements in the absolute luminosity measurement, experimental and PDF systematics for the precise determination/prediction of cross setion ratios at 8 and 7 tev
4) status, needs and interest in luminosity determinations for the p Pb and PbPb runs

    The uncertainty in the determination of the LHC luminosity is rapidly becoming a limiting factor for the analysis and interpretation of many important LHC processes. In this talk first of all we discuss the theoretical accuracy of total cross sections and examine in which cases the luminosity error is or will be dominant. We then review the impact of LHC data in PDF determinations, with...
