Search for a fermiophobic Higgs boson in the diphoton decay channel with the ATLAS detector
European Physical Journal C 72:9 (2012) 1-18
Abstract:
A search for a fermiophobic Higgs boson using diphoton events produced in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of √s = 7 TeV is performed using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4. 9 fb-1 collected by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. A specific benchmark model is considered where all the fermion couplings to the Higgs boson are set to zero and the bosonic couplings are kept at the Standard Model values (fermiophobic Higgs model). The largest excess with respect to the background-only hypothesis is found at 125. 5 GeV, with a local significance of 2. 9 standard deviations, which reduces to 1. 6 standard deviations when taking into account the look-elsewhere effect. The data exclude the fermiophobic Higgs model in the ranges 110. 0-118. 0 GeV and 119. 5-121. 0 GeV at 95 % confidence level. © 2012 CERN for the benefit of the ATLAS collaboration.What did HERA teach us about the structure of the proton?

A search for ttbar resonances in lepton+jets events with highly boosted top quarks collected in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector
JHEP (2012) 041
Abstract:
A search for resonant production of high-mass top-quark pairs is performed on 2.05 fb^-1 of proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV collected in 2011 with the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. This analysis of the lepton+jets final state is specifically designed for the particular topology that arises from the decay of highly boosted top quarks. The observed ttbar invariant mass spectrum is found to be compatible with the Standard Model prediction and 95% credibility level upper limits are derived on the ttbar production rate through new massive states. An upper limit of 0.7 pb is set on the production cross section times branching fraction of a narrow 1 TeV resonance. A Kaluza-Klein gluon with a mass smaller than 1.5 TeV is excluded.Measurement of high-Q2 neutral current deep inelastic e+p scattering cross sections with a longitudinally polarised positron beam at HERA
