Abstract

LUCID-2, the main luminometer of the ATLAS experiment, guaranteed a precision of 1% and a time stability of about 1% during LHC Run-2. Similar performances are expected for Run-3 as well. Due to the higher pile-up and radiation damage, a new LUCID is needed to fulfill the requirements of Run-4. New photomultipliers (PMTs) and fibers have been installed in ATLAS as LUCID-3 prototypes and are evaluated for their use in Run-4. The first results of this characterization campaign are presented. The newly proposed PMTs generate shorter signals compared to LUCID-2 PMTs and the current readout system is not able to digitize them optimally. A fiber irradiation session was performed to estimate the radiation damage during Run-4. A larger loss was observed in the UV region with respect to the visible region, leading to a modification of the fiber prototype installed.
