The goal of this project is to exploit the luminous region data from ATLAS and correlate it with what the LHC sees. For example, from measurements of the transverse emittances of both beams . and the beta function at the interaction point one can predict the luminous widths seen in ATLAS. The task involves tapping into the LHC database Logging Database and extracting the most relevant information. This will include involve some programming in C++ and python and possibly scripting in Java. A web interface called Timber is available for making interactive plots that can help guide what to look for and how to make the data accessible in programmatic way. Ideally, the project would result in a new online monitoring display available to both ATLAS and the LHC and ATLAS, as well as in archived plots that can be used for more detailed studies.
