A measurement of the inclusive ep scattering cross section is presented in the region of low momentum transfers, 0.2 GeV2 ≤Q2≤12 GeV2, and low Bjorken x, 5⋅10−6≤x≤0.02. The result is based on two data sets collected in dedicated runs by the H1 Collaboration at HERA at beam energies of 27.6 GeV and 920 GeV for positrons and protons, respectively. A combination with data previously published by H1 leads to a cross section measurement of a few percent accuracy. A kinematic reconstruction method exploiting radiative ep events extends the measurement to lower Q2 and larger x. The data are compared with theoretical models which apply to the transition region from photoproduction to deep inelastic scattering.

• Electron efficiency measurements with the ATLAS detector using 2012 LHC proton–proton collision data (2016, unknown): “Only the two ET bins 10–15 and 15–20 GeV allow a combination of independent measurements, which is done using a program originally developed for the HERA experiment [29] and used in Ref.”
