Search for resonant diboson production in the WW/WZ → ℓvjj decay channels with the ATLAS detector at √s = 7 TeV
Physical Review D - Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology 87:11 (2013)
Abstract:
A search for resonant diboson production using a data sample corresponding to 4:7 fb–1of integrated luminosity collected by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV is presented. The search for a narrow resonance in the WW or WZ mass distribution is conducted in a final state with an electron or a muon, missing transverse momentum, and at least two jets. No significant excess is observed and limits are set using three benchmark models: WW resonance masses below 940 and 710 GeV are excluded at 95% confidence level for spin-2 Randall–Sundrum and bulk Randall–Sundrum gravitons, respectively; WZ resonance masses below 950 GeV are excluded at 95% confidence level for a spin-1 extended gauge model W′ boson.Search for third generation scalar leptoquarks in pp collisions at √s=7 TeV with the ATLAS detector
Journal of High Energy Physics 2013:6 (2013)
Abstract:
A search for pair-produced third generation scalar leptoquarks is presented, using proton-proton collisions at s=7 TeV at the LHC. The data were recorded with the ATLAS detector and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 4.7 fb-1. Each leptoquark is assumed to decay to a tau lepton and a b-quark with a branching fraction equal to 100%. No statistically significant excess above the Standard Model expectation is observed. Third generation leptoquarks are therefore excluded at 95% confidence level for masses less than 534GeV.

Proceedings of Science 2012-July (2013)
Abstract:
Data taking has now finished for the low-energy phase of the MINOS experiment. The main osillation results from these data are presented. The disappearance of muon neutrinos and muon anti-neutrinos from the NuMI beam are combined with atmospheric data to produce a best fit for the atmospheric oscillation parameters. The |?m232| measurement, which is the most constraining in the world, is (2.39+-000910) × 10-3eV2. The value of sin2(2?32) is measured to be 0.957+-00035036. The latest results of the electron neutrino appearance search are presented and rule out ?13 = 0 at 2s. Results from the MINOS time of flight study are also presented and a preview of the physics available in the next phase of the experiment, MINOS+ is given.Test of Lorentz and CPT violation with short baseline neutrino oscillation excesses
