Abstract

At HERA, luminosity is determined on-line and bunch by bunch by measuring the bremsstrahlung spectrum from e-p collisions. The H1 collaboration has built a completely new luminosity system in order to sustain the harsh running conditions after the four-fold luminosity increase. Namely, the higher synchrotron radiation doses and the increased event pile-up have governed the design of the two major components, a radiation-resistant quartz-fiber electro-magnetic calorimeter, and a fast readout electronics with on-line energy histogramming at a rate of 500 kHz. An overview of the different components of the new luminosity system is given, and the commissioning status is reported.
