"The Quest for High Luminosity in Hadron Colliders" Colliders have two vital performance parameters on which their success depends: one is their collision energy, and the other, the number of particle collisions they can produce, which is proportional to a quantity known as the luminosity. One of the tremendous achievements in the world’s latest collider, RHIC, is the amazing luminosity that it produces in addition to its high energy.
