Data-driven precision luminosity measurements with Z bosons at the LHC and HL-LHC

Data-driven precision luminosity measurements with Z bosons at the LHC and HL-LHC

A method to measure integrated luminosities at the LHC using Z bosons without theoretical cross section input is discussed. The main uncertainties and the prospects for precision luminosity measurements using this method are outlined.
