Abstract

A measurement of the integrated luminosity at the ep collider HERA is presented, exploiting the elastic QED Compton process ep→eγp. The electron and the photon are detected in the backward calorimeter of the H1 experiment. The integrated luminosity of the data recorded in 2003 to 2007 is determined with a precision of 2. 3 %. The measurement is found to be compatible with the corresponding result obtained using the Bethe-Heitler process.
