DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe D0 experiment has previously calculated its luminosities using a visible cross section (luminosity monitor constant) for its Level 0 trigger, [sigma][sub L0]= 42.9 mb based on the E710 inelastic cross section measurements. Recently, CDF has also published inelastic cross section measurements markedly different from E710. The D0 experiment has moved to world average inelastic cross sections at[radical]s= 1.8 TeV. The result changes the D0 visible cross section to[sigma][sub L0]= 48.2 mb which is an increase of 12.4% in the visible cross section value. The error on luminosity has been left unchanged at 12%.
