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.

Measurements of Higgs boson production and couplings in diboson final states with the ATLAS detector at the LHC

Georges Aad, +2945 more
- 04 Jul 2013 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the production properties and couplings of the recently discovered Higgs boson using the decays into boson pairs were measured using the complete pp collision data sample recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider at centre-of-mass energies of 7 TeV and 8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about 25/fb.

Performance of $b$-Jet Identification in the ATLAS Experiment

Georges Aad, +2815 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an independent b-tagging algorithm based on the reconstruction of muons inside jets as well as the b tagging algorithm used in the online trigger are also presented.

Matching NLO QCD computations with Parton Shower simulations: the POWHEG method

TL;DR: In this article, the POWHEG method for interfacing parton-shower generators with NLO QCD computations is described in its full generality, and features in two subtraction frameworks for NLO calculations: the Catani-Seymour and the Frixione-Kunszt-Signer approach.
