The Luminosity Monitor of Beijing Spectrometer (BES)
- Received Date: 1989-10-18
Abstract: In this paper, we present the design and construction of the luminosity monitor of BES, its main features of the detectors and the functions of the read-out circuits and data acquisition system. In October of 1988,-the luminosity monitor provided the first colliding luminosity of Beijing Electron-Positron Collider (BEPC), and the initial luminosity was 5×1028/cm2·s. During the later colliding experimental operations, the luminosity monitor also provided the colliding luminosities, which were in agreement with those calculated with the operation parameters of the BEPC.
