Table 3.

Length-scale calibrations at the ATLAS interaction point at s=8 TeV. Values shown are the ratio of the beam displacement measured by ATLAS using the average primary-vertex position, to the nominal displacement entered into the accelerator control system. Ratios are shown for each individual beam in both planes, as well as for the beam-separation scale that determines that of the convolved beam sizes in the vdM scan. The uncertainties are statistical only
