LHC Lumi Days 2019
Following the successful 2011 and 2012 meetings, we propose a new edition of LHC LumiDays, dedicated to luminosity and emittance measurements during Run 2. The goal is to review the progress, over the last 4 years, in the determination of the LHC luminosity, the measurement and understanding of the emittance, and the modeling of the luminosity based on the measured or calculated evolution of single-beam parameters.
This workshop will focus on the Run-2 results and will be followed by another one in early to mid 2020 to discuss in detail the strategy for Run-3.
A list of useful references and documents of relevance for the workshop can be found here, as well as in the proceedings of the past workshop available from
http://cdsweb.cern.ch/record/1347440
