Abstract
Proc. of DIS 2012, 399-402; DESY
A measurement of the integrated luminosity at the $ep$ collider HERA
is presented, exploiting the elastic QED Compton process $ep\to e\gamma
p$. The electron and the photon are detected in the backward calorimeter
of the H1 experiment. The integrated luminosity of the data recorded
in 2003 to 2007 is determined with a precision of \totalerr{}. The
measurement is found to be compatible with the corresponding result
obtained using the Bethe-Heitler process.
