\subsection{Integrated luminosity measurement}
The experimental conditions at TLEP will be similar to those of LEP, with the additional bonus of very stable beam conditions
thanks to brought by the
topping-up mode. continuous top-off injection. Nevertheless, there will be a number of notable
differences: a) the differences, as exemplified in turn below.
\begin{itemize}
\item The smaller value of $\beta^*_y$ increases the beam divergence at the interaction point to the
point where extent that it may have a
sizable sizeable effect on the acceptance of low angle detectors used for the luminosity
measurement; a') measurement.
\item The strong
final focus final-focus quadrupoles may generate large amounts of synchrotron
radiation radiation, which
needs need to be simulated and against which appropriate shielding must be
provided; b) an provided.
\item An increased amount of
beamstrahlung, which beamstrahlung may lead to a somewhat larger background of electromagnetic radiation produced in the interaction
region -- region. As mentioned earlied, it is however several order of magnitude smaller however than
in the
level expected in a linear collider
environment; c) the environment.
\item The repetition rate in multi-bunch operations
can raise up to will reach 20 MHz
and this at the Z pole. This specificity has to be taken into account in the design of the detectors.
Provided \end{itemize}
To the
above mentioned extent that the aforementioned issues are properly addressed and solved, there should be no significant difficulty
in achieving to achieve luminosity measurements with an experimental precision similar to that obtained at LEP, typically a few times $10^{-4}$. At the Z peak it would be of
interest (for interest, e.g., for the measurement of the invisible
width) width, hence the number of light neutrinos, to achieve even better precisions, which will require a more precise construction of the luminometers.
However, the The main limitation on the luminosity
measurement measurement, however, would
come, come in the state of the
art, art from the theoretical calculation of the low angle Bhabha
cross-section; clearly, cross section. Clearly, progress in this aspect would pay great dividends.
