TL;DR: In this article, a search for the Standard Model Higgs boson in proton-proton collisions with the ATLAS detector at the LHC is presented, which has a significance of 5.9 standard deviations, corresponding to a background fluctuation probability of 1.7×10−9.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe likelihood-based statistical tests for use in high energy physics for the discovery of new phenomena and for construction of confidence intervals on model parameters, focusing on the properties of the test procedures that allow one to account for systematic uncertainties.

TL;DR: A search for particle dark matter with the XENON100 experiment, operated at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso for 13 months during 2011 and 2012, has yielded no evidence for dark matter interactions.

TL;DR: In this article, a detailed study of the expected performance of the ATLAS detector is presented, together with the reconstruction of tracks, leptons, photons, missing energy and jets, along with the performance of b-tagging and the trigger.

TL;DR: The XENON100 detector, installed underground at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso of INFN, Italy, finds no evidence for dark matter, leading to the most stringent limit on dark matter interactions today.
