Physics Letters, Section B: Nuclear, Elementary Particle and High-Energy Physics 725:4-5 (2013) 223-242
Abstract:
© 2013 CERN. This Letter reports a measurement of the high-mass Drell-Yan differential cross-section in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV at the LHC. Based on an integrated luminosity of 4.9fb -1 , the differential cross-section in the Z/γ * →e + e - channel is measured with the ATLAS detector as a function of the invariant mass, m ee , in the range 116 < m ee < 1500GeV, for a fiducial region in which both the electron and the positron have transverse momentum p T > 25GeV and pseudorapidity |η| < 2.5. A comparison is made to various event generators and to the predictions of perturbative QCD calculations at next-to-next-to-leading order.Performance of a Prototype Large Area Neutron Detector Based on 6LiF:ZnS(Ag) with MPPC Read-out

Search for microscopic black holes in a like-sign dimuon final state using large track multiplicity with the ATLAS detector
Physical Review D - Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology 88:7 (2013)
Abstract:
A search is presented for microscopic black holes in a like-sign dimuon final state in proton-proton collisions at √s=8 TeV. The data were collected with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider in 2012 and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb-1. Using a high track multiplicity requirement, 0.6±0.2 background events from Standard Model processes are predicted and none observed. This result is interpreted in the context of low-scale gravity models and 95% C.L. lower limits on microscopic black hole masses are set for different model assumptions. © 2013 CERN.
