Search for Higgs Boson Pair Production in the γγbb¯ Final State using pp Collis...
Onofre, A.; Castro, Nuno Filipe Silva Fernandes; ATLAS CollaborationSearches are performed for resonant and non-resonant Higgs boson pair production in the hh→γγbb¯ final state using 20 fb−1 of proton--proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 8TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. A 95% confidence level upper limit on the cross section times branching ratio of non--resonant production is set at 2.2 pb, while the expected limit is 1.0 pb....

Onofre, A.; Castro, Nuno Filipe Silva Fernandes; ATLAS CollaborationSearches for heavy long-lived charged particles are performed using a data sample of 19.8 fb−1 from proton--proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of s√ = 8 TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. No excess is observed above the estimated background and limits are placed on the mass of long-lived particles in various supersymmetric models. Long-lived tau sleptons in models with g...
Measurement of the WW+WZ cross section and limits on anomalous triple gauge cou...
Onofre, A.; Castro, Nuno Filipe Silva Fernandes; ATLAS CollaborationThe production of a W boson decaying to eν or μν in association with a W or Z boson decaying to two jets is studied using 4.6 fb−1 of proton--proton collision data at s√=7 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The combined WW+WZ cross section is measured with a significance of 3.4σ and is found to be 68±7 (stat.)±19 (syst.) pb, in agreement with the Standard Model expectation of 61.1±2.2 pb. The dist...
Evidence of Wγγ production in pp collisions at s√=8 TeV and limits on anomalous...
Onofre, A.; Castro, Nuno Filipe Silva Fernandes; ATLAS CollaborationThis Letter reports evidence of triple gauge boson production pp→W(ℓν)γγ+X, which is accessible for the first time with the 8 TeV LHC data set. The fiducial cross section for this process is measured in a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb−1, collected by the ATLAS detector in 2012. Events are selected using the W boson decay to eν or μν as well as requiring two isolated photons. T...
Search for direct pair production of a chargino and a neutralino decaying to th...
Onofre, A.; Castro, Nuno Filipe Silva Fernandes; ATLAS CollaborationA search is presented for the direct pair production of a chargino and a neutralino pp→χ~±1χ~02, where the chargino decays to the lightest neutralino and the W boson, χ~±1→χ~01(W±→ℓ±ν), while the neutralino decays to the lightest neutralino and the 125 GeV Higgs boson, χ~02→χ~01(h→bb/γγ/ℓ±νqq). The final states considered for the search have large missing transverse momentum, an isolated electron or muon, and o...
Search for type-III Seesaw heavy leptons in pp collisions at s√=8 TeV with the ...
Onofre, A.; Castro, Nuno Filipe Silva Fernandes; ATLAS CollaborationA search for the pair-production of heavy leptons (N0,L±) predicted by the type-III seesaw theory formulated to explain the origin of small neutrino masses is presented. The decay channels N0→W±l∓ (ℓ=e,μ,τ) and L±→W±ν (ν=νe,νμ,ντ) are considered. The analysis is performed using the final state that contains two leptons (electrons or muons), two jets from a hadronically decaying W boson, and large missing transv...
Search for vector-like B quarks in events with one isolated lepton, missing tra...
Onofre, A.; Castro, Nuno Filipe Silva Fernandes; ATLAS CollaborationA search has been performed for pair production of heavy vector-like down-type (B) quarks. The analysis explores the lepton-plus-jets final state, characterized by events with one isolated charged lepton (electron or muon), significant missing transverse momentum and multiple jets. One or more jets are required to be tagged as arising from b-quarks, and at least one pair of jets must be tagged as arising from t...

Onofre, A.; Castro, Nuno Filipe Silva Fernandes; ATLAS CollaborationThe results of a search for supersymmetry in final states containing at least one isolated lepton (electron or muon), jets and large missing transverse momentum with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are reported. The search is based on proton-proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy s√=8 TeV collected in 2012, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20 fb−1. No significant exce...
Summary of the searches for squarks and gluinos using root s=8 TeV pp collision...
Onofre, A.; Castro, Nuno Filipe Silva Fernandes; ATLAS CollaborationA summary is presented of ATLAS searches for gluinos and first- and second-generation squarks in final states containing jets and missing transverse momentum, with or without leptons or b-jets, in the s√=8 TeV data set collected at the Large Hadron Collider in 2012. This paper reports the results of new interpretations and statistical combinations of previously published analyses, as well as a new analysis. Sin...

Onofre, A.; Castro, Nuno Filipe Silva Fernandes; ATLAS CollaborationThis article reports on a search for dark matter pair production in association with bottom or top quarks in 20.3fb−1 of pp collisions collected at s√=8 TeV by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Events with large missing transverse momentum are selected when produced in association with high-momentum jets of which one or more are identified as jets containing b-quarks. Final states with top quarks are selected by r...
