Abstract
The design and performance of the luminosity monitor for Fermilab expe riment E760, in which the circulating antiproton beam in the FNAL anti proton accumulator intersects a hydrogen gas-jet target, is described. Absolute luminosity monitoring at the level of +/-0.8%(statistical) /-2.1%(systematic) is achieved. The luminosity monitor also enables fo rward scattering parameters to be measured for momenta in the 3-8 GeV range with greater precision than achieved before.
