چکیده
Physikalisches Institut, Albert-Ludwig-Universität Freiburg, Hermann-Herder-Str. 3, D-79104 Freiburg Abstract.The Standard Model of elementary particles is remarkably succesful in describing experimental data. The Higgs mechanism as the origin of electroweak symmetry breaking and mass generation, however, has not yet been confirmed experimentally. The search for the Higgs boson is thus one of the most important tasks of the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). This talk will present an overview of the potential of the ATLAS detector for the discovery of the Standard Model Higgs boson. Different production processes and decay channels -to cover a wide mass rangewill be discussed.

Discovery Potential of the Standard Model Higgs Boson Through H → WW Decay Mode with the ATLAS Detector at LHC
We report results of a study of the Standard Model Higgs boson discovery potential through the W-pair leptonic decay modes with the ATLAS detector at LHC at 14 TeV center-of-mass energy. We used MC samples with full detector simulation and reconstruction of the ATLAS experiment to estimate the ATLAS detection sensitivity for the reaction of pp→ H →WW → eνμν with no hard jet or two hard jets in ...

A major physics priority of the experiments at the future proton-proton Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN will be the search for the Higgs boson, a cornerstone for the study of the nature of electroweak symmetry breaking. Two general purpose experiments under construction, CMS [1] and ATLAS [2], have been optimized to cover a large spectrum of possible physics signatures within the data takin...

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...
