Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The analysis described in this thesis is the search for the Higgs boson, decaying into bb pair, in the associated production with a vector boson, in the extreme Higgs boson transverse momentum region where the Higgs boson is reconstructed using the large-R jet technique. The use of the large-R jets allows to add a part of the phase space unexplored so far, which is particularly sensitive to possible new physics. The analysed data have been collected at LHC by the ATLAS detector between 2015 and 2018 at a centre-of-mass energy of √s = 13 TeV. The same dataset has been used to perform the differential pp → ZH and pp → WH cross-section measurements used to extract the information on the Higgs couplings and to put limits on Beyond the Standard Model effects. Furthermore the analysis has been re-used to perform a cross-section measurement of the diboson ZZ and WZ processes because the diboson and the Higgs processes have a similar topology. For the first time the ZZ(bb) and WZ(bb) cross-sections are measured at √s = 13 TeV and the observed cross-section measurements are consistent with the Standard Model predictions.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis discusses searches for pair production of Higgs bosons in the bbbb final state using data recorded by the ATLAS detector from $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV proton-proton ($pp$) collisions during the full period of LHC Run 2. It develops two separate analysis strategies: one targeting resonant pair production of Higgs bosons, in which Beyond the Standard Model resonances are produced which subsequently decay to two Higgs bosons, and one targeting non-resonant pair production of Higgs bosons, which is sensitive to Standard Model $HH$ production as well as to variations of the Higgs trilinear self-coupling. In the resonant searches, no significant excesses are seen, and upper limits on cross section are set on both spin-0 and spin-2 resonant hypotheses. Such limits are competitive with other leading ATLAS full Run 2 searches, and represent a significantly stronger statement than previous, beating the early Run 2 combined ATLAS results above 350 GeV and leading the ATLAS full Run 2 sensitivity above 700 GeV. In the non-resonant, no evidence of Standard Model $HH$ production is seen, but upper limits on cross section of $pp\rightarrow HH$ via gluon-gluon fusion are set to be 4.4 (5.9) observed (expected) times the value predicted by the Standard Model. Such limits represent a significant improvement in sensitivity over the early Run 2 bbbbresults, achieving a 30 (40)~\% additional gain in sensitivity beyond that predicted from a pure increase in dataset size. These limits are competitive with other leading ATLAS full Run 2 searches. Cross section limits are additionally set for a range of values of the Higgs self coupling, parametrized via its ratio to the value predicted by the Standard Model, $\kappa_{\lambda} = \lambda_{HHH}/\lambda_{HHH}^{SM}$. This is restricted to have values $-4.9 \leq \kappa_{\lambda} \leq 14.4$ observed ($-3.9 \leq \kappa_{\lambda} \leq 10.9$ expected). An excess of data over background is seen for values of $\kappa_{\lambda} \geq 5$, with maximum local significance of $3.8\sigma$ at $\kappa_{\lambda} = 6$. Such an excess is demonstrated to be due to low mass, where the bbbb channel has limited sensitivity, and is not seen in more sensitive channels in this region. Results on the development of two methods for the improvement of hadronic shower modeling in ATLAS fast calorimeter simulation are also presented.

Book Searches for Higgs Boson Pair Production in the Hh u2192 bb      WW     bb  Bbbb Channels with the ATLAS Detector

Download or read book Searches for Higgs Boson Pair Production in the Hh u2192 bb WW bb Bbbb Channels with the ATLAS Detector written by and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Searches for both resonant and nonresonant Higgs boson pair production are performed in the hh → bb??, ??WW* final states using 20.3 fb-1 of pp collision data at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. No evidence of their production is observed and 95% confidence-level upper limits on the production cross sections are set. These results are then combined with the published results of the hh → ??bb, bbbb analyses. An upper limit of 0.69 (0.47) pb on the nonresonant hh production is observed (expected), corresponding to 70 (48) times the SM gg → hh cross section. For production via narrow resonances, cross-section limits of hh production from a heavy Higgs boson decay are set as a function of the heavy Higgs boson mass. The observed (expected) limits range from 2.1 (1.1) pb at 260 GeV to 0.011 (0.018) pb at 1000 GeV. In addition, these results are interpreted in the context of two simplified scenarios of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model.

Book Searches for Associated Higgs Boson Production with Top Quark Pair and Higgs Pair Production in Multi Lepton Final States with the ATLAS Detector

Download or read book Searches for Associated Higgs Boson Production with Top Quark Pair and Higgs Pair Production in Multi Lepton Final States with the ATLAS Detector written by Merve Nazlim Agaras and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the discovery of the Higgs boson at a mass around 125 GeV by both ATLAS and CMS collaborations in July 2012, it became crucial to measure its properties, such as its couplings to other particles, and search for any deviations from the Standard Model (SM) predictions. The top quark Yukawa coupling is close to unity and the strongest in the fermionic sector. Therefore, this coupling plays a crucial role in the theory. Determination of the associated production of The Higgs boson production with a pair of top quarks (ttH) offers a tree-level access to measuring this coupling. The analysis of ttH production at ATLAS experiment exploits several Higgs decay channel, together with different top quark decay modes. In this thesis, the study of the ttH (H → Multi lepton) process is presented in the topology where the Higgs decays to WW,ZZ or tautau, using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 79.8fb^-1 at √s = 13 TeV, collected with the ATLAS detector between 2015-2017. Improved knowledge on the background modelling and the complex fit model is used with many degrees of freedoms. Particularly different fit setups are presented in order to understand the modelling of the major irreducible background, ttW. Furthermore, a search for the SM Higgs boson pair production in the multi lepton final states is presented. The search uses 139fb^-1 of proton-proton collisions data at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV provided by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and recorded by the ATLAS experiment in 2015 and 2018. The first studies in two lepton same-sign channel is performed for lepton working point optimisation and estimation of background contributions. Template fit method is applied to estimated the reducible backgrounds and preliminary expected upper limit is calculated.

Book Search for Higgs Boson Pair Production in the Gamma Gamma B b over bar Final State Using Pp Collision Data at Root S

Download or read book Search for Higgs Boson Pair Production in the Gamma Gamma B b over bar Final State Using Pp Collision Data at Root S written by and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A search for Higgs boson pair production \(pp \rightarrow hh\) is performed with 19.5 fb\(^{-1}\) of proton-proton collision data at \(\sqrt{s}=8\) TeV, which were recorded by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider in 2012. The decay products of each Higgs boson are reconstructed as a high-momentum \(b\bar{b}\) system with either a pair of small-radius jets or a single large-radius jet, the latter exploiting jet substructure techniques and associated b-tagged track-jets. No evidence for resonant or non-resonant Higgs boson pair production is observed. The data are interpreted in the context of the Randall-Sundrum model with a warped extra dimension as well as the two-Higgs-doublet model. An upper limit on the cross-section for \(pp\rightarrow G^{*}_{\mathrm {KK}} \rightarrow hh \rightarrow b\bar{b}b\bar{b} \) of 3.2 (2.3) fb is set for a Kaluza-Klein graviton \(G^{*}_{\mathrm {KK}}\) mass of 1.0 (1.5) TeV, at the 95 % confidence level. The search for non-resonant Standard Model hh production sets an observed 95 % confidence level upper limit on the production cross-section \(\sigma (pp \rightarrow hh \rightarrow b\bar{b}b\bar{b})\) of 202 fb, compared to a Standard Model prediction of \(\sigma (pp \rightarrow hh \rightarrow b\bar{b}b\bar{b}) = 3.6 \pm 0.5\) fb.

Book Search for the Higgs Boson in the Vector Boson Fusion Channel at the ATLAS Detector

Download or read book Search for the Higgs Boson in the Vector Boson Fusion Channel at the ATLAS Detector written by Eric Ouellette and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-01-20 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Thesis describes the first measurement of, and constraints on, Higgs boson production in the vector boson fusion mode, where the Higgs decays to b quarks (the most common decay channel), at the LHC. The vector boson fusion mode, in which the Higgs is produced simultaneously with a pair of quark jets, provides an unparalleled opportunity to study the detailed properties of the Higgs, including the possibility of parity and CP violation, as well as its couplings and mass. It thus opens up this new field of study for precision investigation as the LHC increases in energy and intensity, leading the way to this new and exciting arena of precision Higgs research.
