S., Santa Cruz Institute for Particle Physics, Santa Cruz, United States; Abraham, Nicola L., Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Sussex, Brighton, United KingdomA search for Higgs boson production in association with a pair of top quarks (tt¯ H) is performed, where the Higgs boson decays to bb¯, and both top quarks decay hadronically. The data used correspond to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb−1 of pp collisions at √s = 8 TeV collected with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The search selects events with at least six energetic jets and uses a boosted decision tree algorithm to discriminate between signal and Standard Model background. The dominant multijet background is estimated using a dedicated data-driven technique. For a Higgs boson mass of 125 GeV, an upper limit of 6.4 (5.4) times the Standard Model cross section is observed (expected) at 95% confidence level. The best-fit value for the signal strength is μ = 1.6 ± 2.6 times the Standard Model expectation for mH = 125 GeV. Combining all tt¯ H searches carried out by ATLAS at √s = 8 and 7 TeV, an observed (expected) upper limit of 3.1 (1.4) times the Standard Model expectation is obtained at 95% confidence level, with a signal strength μ = 1.7 ± 0.8. © 2019 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Publication Open Access Search for new phenomena in events with a photon and missing transverse momentum in pp collisions at √s = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector(Springer Verlag [email protected], 2016) The Atlas Collaboration; Aaboud, M.; Aad, Georges; Abbott, Brad K.; Abdallah, Jalal Mohamad; Abdinov, O.

S., Santa Cruz Institute for Particle Physics, Santa Cruz, United States; Abraham, Nicola L., Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Sussex, Brighton, United KingdomResults of a search for new phenomena in events with an energetic photon and large missing transverse momentum with the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider are reported. The data were collected in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 3.2 fb−1. The observed data are in agreement with the Standard Model expectations. Exclusion limits are presented in models of new phenomena including pair production of dark matter candidates or large extra spatial dimensions. In a simplified model of dark matter and an axial-vector mediator, the search excludes mediator masses below 710 GeV for dark matter candidate masses below 150 GeV. In an effective theory of dark matter production, values of the suppression scale M∗ up to 570 GeV are excluded and the effect of truncation for various coupling values is reported. For the ADD large extra spatial dimension model the search places more stringent limits than earlier searches in the same event topology, excluding MD up to about 2.3 (2.8) TeV for two (six) additional spatial dimensions, the limits are reduced by 20-40% depending on the number of additional spatial dimensions when applying a truncation procedure. © 2019 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Publication Open Access Measurement of the relative width difference of the B0‐ B¯ 0 system with the ATLAS detector(Springer Verlag [email protected], 2016) The Atlas Collaboration; Aaboud, M.; Aad, Georges; Abbott, Brad K.; Abdallah, Jalal Mohamad; Abdinov, O.

S., Santa Cruz Institute for Particle Physics, Santa Cruz, United States; Abraham, Nicola L., Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Sussex, Brighton, United KingdomAbstract: This paper presents the measurement of the relative width difference ΔΓd/Γd of the B0‐ B¯ 0 system using the data collected by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC in pp collisions at s=7 TeV and s=8 TeV and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 25.2 fb−1. The value of ΔΓd/Γd is obtained by comparing the decay-time distributions of B0 → J/ψKS and B0 → J/ψK*0(892) decays. The result is ΔΓd/Γd = (−0.1±1.1 (stat.)± 0.9 (syst.)) × 10−2. Currently, this is the most precise single measurement of ΔΓd/Γd. It agrees with the Standard Model prediction and the measurements by other experiments.[Figure not available: see fulltext.] © 2019 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Publication Open Access Measurement of the double-differential high-mass Drell-Yan cross section in pp collisions at √s = 8 TeV with the ATLAS detector(Springer Verlag [email protected], 2016) The Atlas Collaboration; Aad, Georges; Abbott, Brad K.; Abdallah, Jalal Mohamad; Abdinov, O.

The measurement is performed for invariant masses of the lepton pairs, mℓℓ, between 116 GeV and 1500 GeV using a sample of 20.3 fb−1 of pp collisions data at centre-of-mass energy of s=8 TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC in 2012. The data are presented double differentially in invariant mass and absolute dilepton rapidity as well as in invariant mass and absolute pseudorapidity separation of the lepton pair. The single-differential cross section as a function of mℓℓ is also reported. The electron and muon channel measurements are combined and a total experimental precision of better than 1% is achieved at low mℓℓ. A comparison to next-to-next-to-leading order perturbative QCD predictions using several recent parton distribution functions and including next-to-leading order electroweak effects indicates the potential of the data to constrain parton distribution functions. In particular, a large impact of the data on the photon PDF is demonstrated.[Figure not available: see fulltext.] © 2019 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Publication Open Access Measurement of the inclusive isolated prompt photon cross section in pp collisions at s=8TeV with the ATLAS detector(Springer Verlag [email protected], 2016) The Atlas Collaboration; Aad, Georges; Abbott, Brad K.; Abdallah, Jalal Mohamad; Abdinov, O.

S., Santa Cruz Institute for Particle Physics, Santa Cruz, United States; Abraham, Nicola L., Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Sussex, Brighton, United KingdomAbstract: A measurement of the cross section for the inclusive production of isolated prompt photons in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of s=8 TeV is presented. The measurement covers the pseudorapidity ranges |ηγ | < 1.37 and 1.56 ≤ |ηγ | < 2.37 in the transverse energy range 25 < ET γ < 1500 GeV. The results are based on an integrated luminosity of 20.2 fb−1, recorded by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Photon candidates are identified by combining information from the calorimeters and the inner tracker. The background is subtracted using a data-driven technique, based on the observed calorimeter shower-shape variables and the deposition of hadronic energy in a narrow cone around the photon candidate. The measured cross sections are compared with leading-order and next-to-leading order perturbative QCD calculations and are found to be in a good agreement over ten orders of magnitude.[Figure not available: see fulltext.] © 2019 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Publication Open Access Measurement of fiducial differential cross sections of gluon-fusion production of Higgs bosons decaying to WW ∗→eνμν with the ATLAS detector at √s=8 TeV(Springer Verlag [email protected], 2016) The Atlas Collaboration; Aad, Georges; Abbott, Brad K.; Abdallah, Jalal Mohamad; Abdinov, O.

S., Santa Cruz Institute for Particle Physics, Santa Cruz, United States; Abramowicz, Halina, Raymond and Beverly Sackler School of Physics and Astronomy, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv-Yafo, IsraelThis paper describes a measurement of fiducial and differential cross sections of gluon-fusion Higgs boson production in the H → W W∗→ eνμν channel, using 20.3 fb−1 of proton-proton collision data. The data were produced at a centre-of-mass energy of s=8 TeV at the CERN Large Hadron Collider and recorded by the ATLAS detector in 2012. Cross sections are measured from the observed H→ W W∗→ eνμν signal yield in categories distinguished by the number of associated jets. The total cross section is measured in a fiducial region defined by the kinematic properties of the charged leptons and neutrinos. Differential cross sections are reported as a function of the number of jets, the Higgs boson transverse momentum, the dilepton rapidity, and the transverse momentum of the leading jet. The jet-veto efficiency, or fraction of events with no jets above a given transverse momentum threshold, is also reported. All measurements are compared to QCD predictions from Monte Carlo generators and fixed-order calculations, and are in agreement with the Standard Model predictions.[Figure not available: see fulltext.] © 2019 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Publication Open Access Measurements of the Higgs boson production and decay rates and constraints on its couplings from a combined ATLAS and CMS analysis of the LHC pp collision data at √s = 7 and 8 TeV(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2016) The Atlas Collaboration; Aad, Georges; Abbott, Brad K.; Abdallah, Jalal Mohamad; Abdinov, O. B.; Abeloos, Baptiste; Aben, R.; AbouZeid, O.

S., Santa Cruz Institute for Particle Physics, Santa Cruz, United States; Abraham, Nicola L., University of Sussex, Brighton, United Kingdom; Abramowicz, Halina, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv-Yafo, IsraelCombined ATLAS and CMS measurements of the Higgs boson production and decay rates, as well as constraints on its couplings to vector bosons and fermions, are presented. The combination is based on the analysis of five production processes, namely gluon fusion, vector boson fusion, and associated production with a W or a Z boson or a pair of top quarks, and of the six decay modes H → ZZ, W W, γγ, ττ, bb, and μμ. All results are reported assuming a value of 125.09 GeV for the Higgs boson mass, the result of the combined measurement by the ATLAS and CMS experiments. The analysis uses the CERN LHC proton-proton collision data recorded by the ATLAS and CMS experiments in 2011 and 2012, corresponding to integrated luminosities per experiment of approximately 5 fb−1 at √s = 7 TeV and 20 fb−1 at √s = 8 TeV. The Higgs boson production and decay rates measured by the two experiments are combined within the context of three generic parameterisations: two based on cross sections and branching fractions, and one on ratios of coupling modifiers. Several interpretations of the measurements with more model-dependent parameterisations are also given. The combined signal yield relative to the Standard Model prediction is measured to be 1.09 ± 0.11. The combined measurements lead to observed significances for the vector boson fusion production process and for the H → ττ decay of 5.4 and 5.5 standard deviations, respectively. The data are consistent with the Standard Model predictions for all parameterisations considered. © 2023 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Publication Open Access Measurement of the angular coefficients in Z-boson events using electron and muon pairs from data taken at √s = 8 TeV with the ATLAS detector(Springer Verlag [email protected], 2016) The Atlas Collaboration; Aad, Georges; Abbott, Brad K.; Abdallah, Jalal Mohamad; Abdinov, O.

This paper presents a measurement of the complete set of angular coefficients A0−7 describing these distributions in the Z-boson Collins-Soper frame. The data analysed correspond to 20.3 fb−1 of pp collisions at s=8 TeV, collected by the ATLAS detector at the CERN LHC. The measurements are compared to the most precise fixed-order calculations currently available (O(αs2)) and with theoretical predictions embedded in Monte Carlo generators. The measurements are precise enough to probe QCD corrections beyond the formal accuracy of these calculations and to provide discrimination between different parton-shower models. A significant deviation from the (O(αs2)) predictions is observed for A0 − A2. Evidence is found for non-zero A5,6,7, consistent with expectations.[Figure not available: see fulltext.] © 2019 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Publication Open Access Search for resonances in diphoton events at √s=13 TeV with the ATLAS detector(Springer Verlag [email protected], 2016) The Atlas Collaboration; Aaboud, M.; Aad, Georges; Abbott, Brad K.; Abdallah, Jalal Mohamad; Abdinov, O.

S., Santa Cruz Institute for Particle Physics, Santa Cruz, United States; Abraham, Nicola L., Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Sussex, Brighton, United KingdomSearches for new resonances decaying into two photons in the ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider are described. The analysis is based on proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.2 fb−1 at s=13 TeV recorded in 2015. Two searches are performed, one targeted at a spin-2 particle of mass larger than 500 GeV, using Randall-Sundrum graviton states as a benchmark model, and one optimized for a spin-0 particle of mass larger than 200 GeV. Varying both the mass and the decay width, the most significant deviation from the background-only hypothesis is observed at a diphoton invariant mass around 750 GeV with local significances of 3.8 and 3.9 standard deviations in the searches optimized for a spin-2 and spin-0 particle, respectively. The global significances are estimated to be 2.1 standard deviations for both analyses. The consistency between the data collected at 13 TeV and 8 TeV is also evaluated. Limits on the production cross section times branching ratio to two photons for the two resonance types are reported.[Figure not available: see fulltext.] © 2019 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Publication Open Access Measurement of jet activity in top quark events using the eμ final state with two b-tagged jets in pp collisions at √s=8 TeV with the ATLAS detector(Springer Verlag [email protected], 2016) The Atlas Collaboration; Aaboud, M.; Aad, Georges; Abbott, Brad K.; Abdallah, Jalal Mohamad; Abdinov, O.

S., Santa Cruz Institute for Particle Physics, Santa Cruz, United States; Abraham, Nicola L., Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Sussex, Brighton, United KingdomMeasurements of the jet activity in tt¯ events produced in proton-proton collisions at s=8 TeV are presented, using 20.3 fb−1 of data collected by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. The events were selected in the dilepton eμ decay channel with two identified b-jets. The numbers of additional jets for various jet transverse momentum (pT) thresholds, and the normalised differential cross-sections as a function of pT for the five highest-pT additional jets, were measured in the jet pseudo-rapidity range |η| < 4.5. The gap fraction, the fraction of events which do not contain an additional jet in a central rapidity region, was measured for several rapidity intervals as a function of the minimum pT of a single jet or the scalar sum of pT of all additional jets. These fractions were also measured in different intervals of the invariant mass of the eμbb¯ system. All measurements were corrected for detector effects, and found to be mostly well-described by predictions from next-to-leading-order and leading-order tt¯ event generators with appropriate parameter choices. The results can be used to further optimise the parameters used in such generators.[Figure not available: see fulltext.] © 2019 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
