Abstract:

This Letter presents a search for high-mass resonances decaying into τ + τ - final states using proton-proton collisions at s=7 TeV produced by the Large Hadron Collider. The data were recorded with the ATLAS detector and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 4.6 fb -1 . No statistically significant excess above the Standard Model expectation is observed; 95% credibility upper limits are set on the cross section times branching fraction of Z ' resonances decaying into τ + τ - pairs as a function of the resonance mass. As a result, Z ' bosons of the Sequential Standard Model with masses less than 1.40 TeV are excluded at 95% credibility. © 2013 CERN.

Abstract:

We present a search for a light (mass <2GeV) boson predicted by Hidden Valley supersymmetric models that decays into a final state consisting of collimated muons or electrons, denoted "lepton-jets". The analysis uses 5fb-1 of s=7TeV proton-proton collision data recorded by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider to search for the following signatures: single lepton-jets with at least four muons; pairs of lepton-jets, each with two or more muons; and pairs of lepton-jets with two or more electrons. This study finds no statistically significant deviation from the Standard Model prediction and places 95% confidence-level exclusion limits on the production cross section times branching ratio of light bosons for several parameter sets of a Hidden Valley model. © 2013 CERN.

Abstract:

Measurements of inclusive jet suppression in heavy ion collisions at the LHC provide direct sensitivity to the physics of jet quenching. In a sample of lead-lead collisions at √sNN=2.76TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of approximately 7 μb -1 , ATLAS has measured jets with a calorimeter system over the pseudorapidity interval |η| < 2.1 and over the transverse momentum range 38 < p T < 210GeV. Jets were reconstructed using the anti-k t algorithm with values for the distance parameter that determines the nominal jet radius of R=0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5. The centrality dependence of the jet yield is characterized by the jet "central-to-peripheral ratio," R CP . Jet production is found to be suppressed by approximately a factor of two in the 10% most central collisions relative to peripheral collisions. R CP varies smoothly with centrality as characterized by the number of participating nucleons. The observed suppression is only weakly dependent on jet radius and transverse momentum. These results provide the first direct measurement of inclusive jet suppression in heavy ion collisions and complement previous measurements of dijet transverse energy imbalance at the LHC. © 2013 CERN.
