End of LHCb 2024 proton-proton collision data taking period
On October 16th, 2024, this year's LHC proton run ended, surpassing expectations with 11% more collisions than planned.
At LHCb, an integrated luminosity of 9.56 fb-1 was recorded this year, which is higher than the sum of integrated luminosities from Run 1 and Run 2. LHCb operated at a record instantaneous luminosity of 2x10^33 cm-2 s-1, corresponding to μ=5.3, the average number of visible pp collisions per bunch crossing.
