Physics With Electrons to the Atlas Detector
نویسندگان
چکیده
This thesis presents two diboson measurements with the ATLAS experiment. The first is a differential measurement of Higgs boson observables in the four-lepton decay channel at $\sqrt{s}=8$ TeV. The second presents a first measurement of the WZ diboson production cross section in the three-lepton decay channel at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV. Special emphasis is given to the identification techniques of prompt electrons, particularly the likelihood identification first introduced in 2012 data taking, and electron efficiency measurements in the ATLAS detector.

Electron Reconstruction and Identification with the ATLAS Detector
The LHC nominal center-of-mass energy being 14 TeV, a wide variety of known physics processes -J/ψ , Y, W/Z, heavy flavour decaysand potentially new physics processes will produce electrons in a wide energy range from a few GeV up to a few TeV. At the nominal luminosity (1034cm−2s−1) the inelastic event rate will be about 600 million per second. Thus it is expected to see a huge number of jets ...
متن کاملParticle Identification for Higgs Physics in the Atlas Experiment∗ ∗∗
ATLAS is a general purpose experiment which will operate at the LHC. In the main focus of ATLAS is the investigation of the nature of the electroweak symmetry breaking, and therefore the search for the Higgs boson. Electrons, photons, muons, tau and b-jets are important components of the possible physics signatures expected. The expected quality of particle-ID impose strong requirements upon th...
متن کاملUsing TAGs to speed up the ATLAS analysis process
In the ATLAS experiment, Tag Data, or short TAG, are event-level metadata – thumbnail information about events to support efficient identification and selection of events of interest to a given analysis. TAG quantities range from detector status and trigger information to basic physics quantities, e. g. the number of loose electrons candidates and kinematic information for a limited number of t...
متن کاملElectron efficiency measurements with the ATLAS detector using 2012 LHC proton–proton collision data
This paper describes the algorithms for the reconstruction and identification of electrons in the central region of the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). These algorithms were used for all ATLAS results with electrons in the final state that are based on the 2012 pp collision data produced by the LHC at √ s = 8 TeV. The efficiency of these algorithms, together with the charge m...
