Title: Report on the measurement of the total cross section and luminosity at Isabelle. A summary of existing CRISP reports

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/4325969· OSTI ID:4325969

Methods for measuring the total cross section ( sigma /sub T/) are discussed including measurement of sigma from the total interaction rate, measurement of sigma /sub T/ from the forward elastic cross section, measurement of sigma /sub T/ from the beam attenuation rate, and measurement of the nucleon- nucleon total cross section ratio. Several methods for determining the luminosity are considered including the Van der Meer method, using the intersection of a high BETA and low BETA beams, luminosity determination by beam attenuation, measurement of the Coulomb region in p-p collisions, Coulomb dissociation of N*(1236), and electron pair production in p-p collisions.
