The luminosity determination for the ATLAS detector at the LHC during Run 2 is presented, with $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV. The absolute luminosity scale is determined using van der Meer beam separation scans during dedicated running periods in each year, and extrapolated to the physics data-taking regime using complementary measurements from several luminosity-sensitive detectors. The total uncertainties in the integrated luminosities for each individual year of data-taking range from 0.9% to 1.1%, and are partially correlated between years. After standard data-quality selections, the full Run 2 $pp$ data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of $140.1\pm 1.2$ fb$^{-1}$, i.e. an uncertainty of 0.83%. A dedicated sample of low-pileup data recorded in 2017-18 for precision Standard Model physics measurements is analysed separately, and has an integrated luminosity of $338.1\pm 3.1$ pb$^{-1}$.

• ATLAS data quality operations and performance for 2015-2018 data-taking (2019, unknown): “Typically, new runs can be fully validated 1–2 weeks after having been delivered by the LHC. 12 Though data reprocessings are nominally performed at Tier 1 sites to ensure that Tier 0 resources are available for prompt data reconstruction, the Tier 0 can be seamlessly included as an additional ATLAS”
