Abstract
One of the most significant merit figures in the Large Hadron Collider, LHC, is the luminosity. Larger values of luminosity allow for more interesting physical observations by the experiments, and it is a metric to quantify the instantaneous rate of the particles interacting in the collider. The luminosity is a scalar observable that indicates how much “Physics” is created during the run in the LHC, hence it is directly connected to LHC’s capability for discovery. The intensity of the two beams, the number of colliding bunches, the bunch profiles, the frequency of revolution, etc. . . are all physical quantities that contribute to the luminosity.
Several facets of the accelerator and the beam properties are integrated into this figure
