Study of a Light Standard Model Higgs Boson in the t¯tH<sup>0</sup> Channel with ATLAS at LHC and Decay-Mode Independent Searches for Neutral Higgs Bosons with OPAL at LEP 

Cammin, Jochen (2004)
The production of a light Standard Model Higgs boson in association with a top-quark pair at the LHC is studied in a simulation of the ATLAS detector. The Higgs boson is assumed to decay into bb, and the top-quark pair to decay into lνb jjb. Tagging of all four b-jets and the full reconstruction of the final state are necessary to minimize the combinatorial background from assigning two jets to the decay of the Higgs boson and to discriminate the signal process from the large background from top-quark pairs with additional jets. New methods based on likelihood techniques are investigated in order to improve the reconstruction and the signal-background separation. They lead to substantial enhancement of the expected sensitivity of ATLAS to the ttH<sup>0</sup> channel. Both a fast and the full simulation of the ATLAS detector are used, and a focus is set on the study of the ATLAS b-tagging performance and its parameterization in the fast simulation of the detector. <br /> Further, topological searches for neutral Higgs bosons h<sup>0</sup> produced in e<sup>+</sup>e<sup>-</sup> collisions at LEP in the process e<sup>+</sup>e<sup>-</sup> to h<sup>0</sup>Z<sup>0</sup> are investigated using data collected at center-of-mass energies of 183-209 GeV with the OPAL detector. These searches are based on studies of the recoil mass spectrum of Z<sup>0</sup> to e<sup>+</sup>e<sup>-</sup> and μ<sup>+</sup>μ<sup>-</sup> events. They cover arbitrary decays of the h<sup>0</sup> as well as the possibility that it might be stable. No indication for a signal is found in the data and upper limits on the cross section of h<sup>0</sup>Z<sup>0</sup> production are calculated. The results can be interpreted in general scenarios independently of the decay modes of the h<sup>0</sup>. The examples considered are the production of a single new scalar particle with a decay width smaller than the detector mass resolution, and, for the first time, two scenarios with continuous mass distributions, due to a single very broad state or several states close in mass....

Sensitivity of the ATLAS experiment in pp-collisions at a centre of mass energy of 14TeV at the LHC to a Higgs boson with large decay-width to invisible final states

So far experimentally not ruled out, the stealthy Higgs scenario proposes a hidden scalar sector, to which only the Higgs has non-vanishing and possibly large couplings. Due to decays into the scalars the Higgs acquires a ...

Observation of W → τν<sub>τ</sub> Decays with the ATLAS Experiment 

Nunes Hanninger, Guilherme (2011-05-04)
Physics studies of processes with t leptons in the final state, while challenging at hadron colliders, are of great importance at the LHC. The τ leptons provide important signatures in searches for the Higgs boson as well as for new physics in a wide range of theoretical models. Decays of Standard Model particles to τ leptons, in particular Z→ττ and W → τν<sub>τ</sub>, are important background processes in those searches and their cross sections need to be measured first. This thesis reports the first observation of W → τν<sub>τ</sub> decays and of hadronically decaying τ leptons with the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. The analysis is based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 546 nb<sup>-1</sup>, which was recorded at a proton-proton centre-of-mass energy of 7TeV. A total of 78 data events are selected, with an estimated background of 11.1±2.3<sub>(stat.)</sub> ±3.2<sub>(syst.)</sub> events from QCD processes, and of 11.8±0.4<sub>(stat.)</sub> ±3.7<sub>(syst.)</sub> events from other W and Z decays. The observed excess of data events over the total background is compatible with the SM expectation for W → τν<sub>τ</sub> decays, both in the number of events and in the shapes of distributions of characteristic variables....
