A technique is presented to measure the efficiency with which c-jets are mistagged as b-jets (mistagging efficiency) using t ¯t events, where one of theW bosons decays into an electron or muon and a neutrino and the other decays into a quark–antiquark pair. The measurement utilises the relatively large and known W → cs branching ratio, which allows ameasurement to be made in an inclusive c-jet sample. The data ...

A search for new phenomena with top quark pairs in final states with one isolated electron or muon, multiple jets, and large missing transverse momentum is performed. Signal regions are designed to search for two-, three-, and four-body decays of the directly pair-produced supersymmetric partner of the top quark (stop). Additional signal regions are designed specifically to search for spin-0 mediators that are ...

All figures including auxiliary figures are available at https://atlas.web.cern.ch/Atlas/GROUPS/PHYSICS/PAPERS/HIGG-2018-26/; A search for invisible decays of the Higgs boson as well as searches for dark matter candidates, produced together with a leptonically decaying $Z$ boson, are presented. The analysis is performed usin...
One of the main drawbacks of the use of microgap structures when used at high pressure (6 bar) at high count rates (~106 s-1 mm-2) is the limited maximum safe gain at which they can be operated. The use of a preamplification device such as the GEM (gas electron multiplier) can overcome this limitation; however, secondary space charge effects due to charge accumulation at the non-metallic surfaces cannot be negl...
