Evidence for the Higgs-boson Yukawa coupling to tau leptons with the ATLAS dete...
Onofre, A.; Castro, Nuno Filipe Silva Fernandes; ATLAS CollaborationResults of a search for H→ττ decays are presented, based on the full set of proton--proton collision data recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC during 2011 and 2012. The data correspond to integrated luminosities of 4.5 fb−1 and 20.3 fb−1 at centre-of-mass energies of s√ = 7 TeV and s√ = 8 TeV respectively. All combinations of leptonic (τ→ℓνν¯ with ℓ=e,μ) and hadronic (τ→hadrons ν) tau decays are consider...
Study of the spin and parity of the Higgs boson in diboson decays with the ATLA...
Onofre, A.; Castro, Nuno Filipe Silva Fernandes; ATLAS CollaborationStudies of the spin, parity and tensor couplings of the Higgs boson in the H→ZZ∗→4ℓ , H→WW∗→eνμν and H→γγ decay processes at the LHC are presented. The investigations are based on 25 fb−1 of pp collision data collected by the ATLAS experiment at s√=7 TeV and s√=8 TeV. The Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson hypothesis, corresponding to the quantum numbers JP=0+, is tested against several alternative spin scenarios,...
Determination of spin and parity of the Higgs boson in the WW∗→eνμν decay chann...
Onofre, A.; Castro, Nuno Filipe Silva Fernandes; ATLAS CollaborationStudies of the spin and parity quantum numbers of the Higgs boson in the WW∗→eνμν final state are presented, based on proton--proton collision data collected by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb−1 at a centre-of-mass energy of s√=8 TeV. The Standard Model spin-parity JCP=0++ hypothesis is compared with alternative hypotheses for both spin and C...
Measurement of the transverse polarization of Λ and Λ ¯ hyperons produced in pr...
Onofre, A.; Castro, Nuno Filipe Silva Fernandes; ATLAS CollaborationThe transverse polarization of Λ and Λ¯ hyperons produced in proton--proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV is measured. The analysis uses 760 μb−1 of minimum bias data collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC in the year 2010. The measured transverse polarization averaged over Feynman xF from 5×10−5 to 0.01 and transverse momentum pT from 0.8 to 15 GeV is −0.010±0.005(stat)±0.004(syst) for Λ a...
Measurements of the W production cross sections in association with jets with t...
Onofre, A.; Castro, Nuno Filipe Silva Fernandes; ATLAS CollaborationThis paper presents cross sections for the production of a W boson in association with jets, measured in proton--proton collisions at s√=7 TeV with the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. With an integrated luminosity of 4.6fb−1, this data set allows for an exploration of a large kinematic range, including jet production up to a transverse momentum of 1 TeV and multiplicities up to seven associated j...
Observation and measurement of Higgs boson decays to WW∗ with the ATLAS detector
Onofre, A.; Castro, Nuno Filipe Silva Fernandes; ATLAS CollaborationWe report the observation of Higgs boson decays to WW∗ based on an excess over background of 6.1 standard deviations in the dilepton final state, where the Standard Model expectation is 5.8 standard deviations. Evidence for the vector-boson fusion (VBF) production process is obtained with a significance of 3.2 standard deviations. The results are obtained from a data sample corresponding to an integrated lumino...
Search for a Charged Higgs Boson Produced in the Vector-boson Fusion Mode with ...
Onofre, A.; Castro, Nuno Filipe Silva Fernandes; ATLAS CollaborationA search for a charged Higgs boson, H±, decaying to a W± boson and a Z boson is presented. The search is based on 20.3 fb−1 of proton-proton collision data at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The H± boson is assumed to be produced via vector-boson fusion and the decays W±→qq′¯ and Z→e+e−/μ+μ− are considered. The search is performed in a range of charged Higgs boson m...
Identification and energy calibration of hadronically decaying tau leptons with...
Onofre, A.; Castro, Nuno Filipe Silva Fernandes; ATLAS CollaborationThis paper describes the trigger and offline reconstruction, identification and energy calibration algorithms for hadronic decays of tau leptons employed for the data collected from pp collisions in 2012 with the ATLAS detector at the LHC center-of-mass energy s√ = 8 TeV. The performance of these algorithms is measured in most cases with Z decays to tau leptons using the full 2012 dataset, corresponding to an i...
Search for low-scale gravity signatures in multi-jet final states with the ATLA...
Onofre, A.; Castro, Nuno Filipe Silva Fernandes; ATLAS CollaborationWe search for evidence of physics beyond the Standard Model in the production of final states with multiple high transverse momentum jets, using 20.3 fb−1 of proton-proton collision data recorded by the ATLAS detector at s√ = 8 TeV. No excess of events beyond Standard Model expectations is observed, and upper limits on the visible cross-section for non-Standard Model production of multi-jet final states are set...
Measurement of the charge asymmetry in dileptonic decays of top quark pairs in ...
Onofre, A.; Castro, Nuno Filipe Silva Fernandes; ATLAS CollaborationA measurement of the top--antitop (tt¯) charge asymmetry is presented using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.6 fb−1 of LHC pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV collected by the ATLAS detector. Events with two charged leptons, at least two jets and large missing transverse momentum are selected. Two observables are studied: AℓℓC based on the identified charged leptons, and Att¯C, ...
