Abstract:
A search for the Standard Model Higgs boson in the two photon decay channel is reported, using 1.08 fb-1 of proton-proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector. No significant excess is observed in the investigated mass range of 110-150 GeV. Upper limits on the cross-section times branching ratio of between 2.0 and 5.8 times the Standard Model prediction are derived for this mass range. © 2011 CERN.Search for the Standard Model Higgs boson in the decay channel H→ZZ(*)→4ℓ with the ATLAS detector

Abstract:
A search for the Standard Model Higgs boson in the decay channel H→ZZ(*)→ℓ+ℓ-ℓ'+ℓ'-, where ℓ=e, μ, is presented. Proton-proton collision data at s=7TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector and corresponding to an average integrated luminosity of 2.1fb-1 are compared to the Standard Model expectations. Upper limits on the production cross section of a Standard Model Higgs boson with a mass between 110 and 600GeV are derived. The observed (expected) 95% confidence level upper limit on the production cross section for a Higgs boson with a mass of 194 GeV, the region with the best expected sensitivity for this search, is 0.99 (1.01) times the Standard Model prediction. The Standard Model Higgs boson is excluded at 95% confidence level in the mass ranges 191-197, 199-200 and 214-224 GeV. © 2011 CERN.Measurement of the WZ production cross section and limits on anomalous triple gauge couplings in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector

Abstract:
A search for a heavy standard model Higgs boson decaying via , where , is presented. It is based on proton-proton collision data at √s=7TeV, collected by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC in the first half of 2011 and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.04fb-1. The data are compared to the expected standard model backgrounds. The data and the background expectations are found to be in agreement and upper limits are placed on the Higgs boson production cross section over the entire mass window considered; in particular, the production of a standard model Higgs boson is excluded in the region 340Exclusive electroproduction of two pions at HERA
