Abstract / Description of output

The luminosity determination for the ATLAS detector at the LHC during Run 2 is presented, with pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy √s = 13 TeV. The
absolute luminosity scale is determined using van der Meer beam separation scans during dedicated running periods in each year, and extrapolated to the physics data-taking regime using complementary measurements from several
luminosity-sensitive detectors. The total uncertainties in the integrated luminosity for each individual year of data-taking range from 0.9% to 1.1%, and are partially correlated between years. After standard data-quality selections,
the full Run 2 pp data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 140.1 ± 1.2 fb−1 , i.e. an uncertainty of 0.83%. A dedicated sample of low-pileup data recorded in 2017–2018 for precision Standard Model physics measurements
is analysed separately, and has an integrated luminosity of 338.1 ± 3.1 pb−1 .
