Many Run 6 runs have no B-counting yet, the luminosity estimate is from OPR

Terminology

Run Range: the first and last colliding beam runs that could conceivably be considered as part of the running cycle. Early runs, especially, may well turn out to be unusable for one reason or another, so you should not expect all these runs to be in the final datasets. Note also that the online system consumes run numbers for calibrations, so even if all acquired colliding beam runs were good for physics, you would not expect the run number sequence to be free of gaps.

Dates: simply the dates on which the first (last) run in the above range started (ended). They are provided just to keep things in a basic historical context.

DQM-usable data: colliding-beam runs declared "OK" or "flawed" by the DQM in IR-2. Does not include runs declared as "unusable" or "detector studies". Note that some "flawed" and even some "OK" runs will later be declared bad by the DQG, and (rarely) some "unusable" or "detector studies" runs might later be determined to be good for physics. These counts are provided just as an indication of the basis from which we work. The luminosity given is the L3 value.
