Search for high mass dilepton resonances in pp collisions at root s=7 TeV with ...

Onofre, A.; Castro, Nuno Filipe Silva Fernandes; ATLAS Collaboration

This Letter presents a search for high mass e+e−e+e− or μ+μ−μ+μ− resonances in pp collisions at View the MathML sources=7 TeV at the LHC. The data were recorded by the ATLAS experiment during 2010 and correspond to a total integrated luminosity of ∼40 pb−1∼40 pb−1. No statistically significant excess above the Standard Model expectation is observed in the search region of dilepton invariant mass above 110 GeV. ...


Search for stable hadronising squarks and gluinos with the ATLAS experiment at ...

Onofre, A.; Castro, Nuno Filipe Silva Fernandes; ATLAS Collaboration

Hitherto unobserved long-lived massive particles with electric and/or colour charge are predicted by a range of theories which extend the Standard Model. In this Letter a search is performed at the ATLAS experiment for slow-moving charged particles produced in proton–proton collisions at 7 TeV centre-of-mass energy at the LHC, using a data-set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 34 pb−1. No deviations ...


Search for high-mass states with one lepton plus missing transverse momentum in...

Onofre, A.; Castro, Nuno Filipe Silva Fernandes; ATLAS Collaboration

The ATLAS detector is used to search for high-mass states, such as heavy charged gauge bosons (W′,W⁎W′,W⁎), decaying to a charged lepton (electron or muon) and a neutrino. Results are presented based on the analysis of pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36 pb−1. No excess beyond standard model expectations is observed. A W′W′ with sequential standard m...


Measurement of the distributions of event-by-event flow harmonics in lead-lead ...

Castro, Nuno Filipe; Onofre, A.; ATLAS Collaboration

The distributions of event-by-event harmonic flow coefficients v (n) for n = 2- 4 are measured in = 2.76 TeV Pb + Pb collisions using the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The measurements are performed using charged particles with transverse momentum p (T) > 0.5 GeV and in the pseudorapidity range |eta| < 2.5 in a dataset of approximately 7 mu b(-1) recorded in 2010. The shapes of the v (n) distributions suggest that...


Electron and photon energy calibration with the ATLAS detector using LHC Run 1 ...

Onofre, A.; Castro, Nuno Filipe; ATLAS Collaboration

This paper presents the electron and photon energy calibration achieved with the ATLAS detector using about 25 fb(-1) of LHC proton-proton collision data taken at centre-of-mass energies of root s = 7 and 8 TeV. The reconstruction of electron and photon energies is optimised using multivariate algorithms. The response of the calorimeter layers is equalised in data and simulation, and the longitudinal profile of...


Measurement of flow harmonics with multi-particle cumulants in Pb plus Pb colli...

Onofre, A.; Castro, Nuno Filipe; ATLAS Collaboration

ATLAS measurements of the azimuthal anisotropy in lead-lead collisions at root(NN)-N-S = 2.76 TeV are shown using a dataset of approximately 7 mu b(-1) collected at the LHC in 2010. The measurements are performed for charged particles with transverse momenta 0.5 < p(T) < 20 GeV and in the pseudorapidity range vertical bar eta vertical bar < 2.5. The anisotropy is characterized by the Fourier coefficients, vn, o...


Search for massive supersymmetric particles decaying to many jets using the ATL...

Onofre, A.; Castro, Nuno Filipe Silva Fernandes; ATLAS Collaboration

Results of a search for decays of massive particles to fully hadronic final states are presented. This search uses 20.3 fb−1 of data collected by the ATLAS detector in s√=8TeV proton--proton collisions at the LHC. Signatures based on high jet multiplicities without requirements on the missing transverse momentum are used to search for R-parity-violating supersymmetric gluino pair production with subsequent deca...


Search for flavour-changing neutral current top quark decays t → Hq in pp colli...

Onofre, A.; Castro, Nuno Filipe Silva Fernandes; ATLAS Collaboration

A search for flavour-changing neutral current decays of a top quark to an uptype quark (q = u, c) and the Standard Model Higgs boson, where the Higgs boson decays to bb¯¯, is presented. The analysis searches for top quark pair events in which one top quark decays to Wb, with the W boson decaying leptonically, and the other top quark decays to Hq. The search is based on pp collisions at s√=8 TeV recorded in 2012...


Search for low-scale gravity signatures in multi-jet final states with the ATLA...

Onofre, A.; Castro, Nuno Filipe Silva Fernandes; ATLAS Collaboration

We search for evidence of physics beyond the Standard Model in the production of final states with multiple high transverse momentum jets, using 20.3 fb−1 of proton-proton collision data recorded by the ATLAS detector at s√ = 8 TeV. No excess of events beyond Standard Model expectations is observed, and upper limits on the visible cross-section for non-Standard Model production of multi-jet final states are set...


Measurement of the t(t)over-barW and t(t)over-barZ production cross sections in...

Onofre, A.; Castro, Nuno Filipe Silva Fernandes; ATLAS Collaboration

The production cross sections of top-quark pairs in association with massive vector bosons have been measured using data from pp collisions at s√=8 TeV. The dataset corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb−1 collected by the ATLAS detector in 2012 at the LHC. Final states with two, three or four leptons are considered. A fit to the data considering the tt¯W and tt¯Z processes simultaneously yields a s...
