  • Abstract
    During the year 2000 run a total of eight beam scans (Vernier Scans) were performed at various interaction points (IP) at RHIC. During a Vernier Scan the experimental collision rates are recorded while the beams are stepwise scanned across each other. Vernier Scans yield transverse beam sizes as well as maximum luminosity and thus the absolute cross section, which with the limited data from the 2000 run we measured to be σ = 8.9 ± 0.3 barn at √sNN = 130 GeV. Also, Vernier Scans permit performance studies of the beam orbit control and local coupling
