Vector Boson Scattering at High Mass with ATLAS
نویسنده
چکیده
In the absence of a light Higgs boson, the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking will be best studied in processes of vector boson scattering at high mass. Various models predict resonances in this channel. Scalar and vector resonances have been investigated in the WW , WZ and ZZ channels. The ability of ATLAS to measure the di-boson crosssection over a range of centre-of-mass energies has been studied with particular attention paid to the reconstruction of jet pairs with low opening angle resulting from the decays of highly boosted vector bosons.

Search for non-Standard-Model Higgs at the LHC with ATLAS
The discovery prospects of non-Standard Model Higgs bosons with the ATLAS detector are presented. Due to the high branching ratio, results on decay channels that include tau leptons are presented both for the search of the neutral and the charged MSSM Higgs bosons. For the neutral Higgs bosons, results on the muon pair final state are also reported. Furthermore, decay scenarios that include SUS...
متن کاملProspects for the Search for a Standard Model Higgs Boson in ATLAS using Vector Boson Fusion
The potential for the discovery of a Standard Model Higgs boson in the mass range mH < 2mZ in the vector boson fusion mode has been studied for the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. The characteristic signatures of additional jets in the forward regions of the detector and of low jet activity in the central region allow for an efficient background rejection. Analyses for the H → WW (∗) and H → ττ de...

Highlights on recent measurements of top quark properties in ATLAS, using pp collision data at √ s= 8 TeV and 13 TeV, are presented. The measurements of the top quark polarization and spin correlation coefficients, the W boson helicity fractions, the structure of the Wtb vertex, the associated production of a tt̄ pair with a vector boson or a photon, and the top quark mass are all in agreement w...
متن کاملObservation and measurements of the production of prompt and non-prompt J/ψ mesons in association with a Z boson in pp collisions at √ s = 8TeV with the ATLAS detector
A key observable for understanding the quarkonium production mechanism is the associated production of a vector boson with heavy quarkonia. ATLAS Collaboration in LHC observed the associated production of prompt and non-prompt J/ψ mesons with Z boson with 5σ and 9σ signifance respectively. In this poster the measurement of the production rate of Z + J/ψ over inclusive Z is discussed. Additional...
