Luminosity at CMS

Summary plots of data taking at CMS and the LHC can be found here.

Calculate the integrated luminosity

For a given dataset, you can calculate the luminosity yourself with the brilcalc tool described at the Lumi POG and in the manual.

You need a JSON file that contains all the runs you want to include:

brilcalc lumi -b "STABLE BEAMS" --normtag /afs/cern.ch/user/l/lumipro/public/Normtags/normtag_DATACERT.json -u /pb -i myJSON.txt

Typically, you can find the JSON files on afs, for example for 2017 data:

/afs/cern.ch/cms/CAF/CMSCOMM/COMM_DQM/certification/Collisions17/13TeV/Final/Cert_294927-306462_13TeV_PromptReco_Collisions17_JSON.txt

and for a certain era dataset (B-F), take a look in:

/afs/cern.ch/cms/CAF/CMSCOMM/COMM_DQM/certification/Collisions17/13TeV/Era/Prompt/

For the recommended JSON files, see below.
