Observation of a new particle in the search for the Standard Model Higgs boson with the ATLAS detector at the LHC

Georges Aad, +2967 more
- 17 Sep 2012 - 
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.

The ATLAS Experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider

Georges Aad, +3032 more
TL;DR: The ATLAS detector as installed in its experimental cavern at point 1 at CERN is described in this paper, where a brief overview of the expected performance of the detector when the Large Hadron Collider begins operation is also presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Combined Measurement of the Higgs Boson Mass in pp Collisions at √s=7 and 8 TeV with the ATLAS and CMS Experiments

Georges Aad, +5120 more
- 14 May 2015 - 
TL;DR: A measurement of the Higgs boson mass is presented based on the combined data samples of the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the CERN LHC in the H→γγ and H→ZZ→4ℓ decay channels.
Journal ArticleDOI

The ATLAS Simulation Infrastructure

Georges Aad, +2585 more
- 25 Sep 2010 - 
TL;DR: The simulation software for the ATLAS Experiment at the Large Hadron Collider is being used for large-scale production of events on the LHC Computing Grid, including supporting the detector description, interfacing the event generation, and combining the GEANT4 simulation of the response of the individual detectors.

Expected Performance of the ATLAS Experiment - Detector, Trigger and Physics

Georges Aad, +2604 more
- 28 Dec 2008 - 
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.
