The number of observed events is in good \ nagreement with the predictions for standard model background processes\, \nand we consequently set an upper limit on the LQ cross section times \nb eta^2 as a function of the LQ mass\, where beta is the branching fraction \nof LQ -> eq. We set a 95% C.L. lower limit on the mass of a \nfirst-gene ration scalar LQ at 220 GeV/c^2 for beta = 1.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/con tributionDisplay.py?contribId=5&sessionId=22&confId=104297 LOCATION:Wilson Hall One West URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=5&sessionId=22& confId=104297 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Search for First Generation Leptoquarks in ATLAS DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20101030T194500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20101030T200500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130521T143825Z UID:indico-contribution-104297-4@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: CAPUTO\, Regina (SUNY Stony Brook)\nAbstract: Leptoq uarks are hypothetical particles that carry both lepton and baryon number and are proposed to exist in a number of extensions to the standard model. This work presents a search for first generation Leptoquarks at the ATLAS detector. The search is for pair production of\nleptoquarks in which one would decay into a lepton/quark pair\, and the other into a neutrino/quark pair yielding one high energy lepton\,\nmissing transverse energy and two high energy jets. The background\, which is estimated by comparing Standa rd Model Monte Carlo with data\,\ncomes primarily from W production with j ets and top production.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?co ntribId=4&sessionId=22&confId=104297 LOCATION:Wilson Hall One West URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=4&sessionId=22& confId=104297 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:From W/Z to Higgs: ATLAS Higgs Sensitivity Prospects for 2010/201 1 DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20101030T204500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20101030T210500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130521T143825Z UID:indico-contribution-104297-7@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: HSU\, Pai-hsien Jennifer (Yale University)\nAbstract : In this talk we show the projections for the Higgs boson search with the ATLAS detector at the LHC\, assuming an integrated luminosity of 1 fb-1 w hich is expected to be reached by the end of 2011. Particular emphasis is given to ongoing studies of the Standard Model W and Z\nboson production\, in view of understanding some of the most important background processes in search for the Higgs boson.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDispla y.py?contribId=7&sessionId=22&confId=104297 LOCATION:Wilson Hall One West URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=7&sessionId=22& confId=104297 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Extra Dimensions Searches in the Diphoton Final State at CMS DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20101030T202500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20101030T204500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130521T143825Z UID:indico-contribution-104297-6@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: NGUYEN\, Duong (Brown University)\nAbstract\nWe pres ent the commissioning of photon reconstruction and identification \nusing 7 TeV collision data at CMS.

A study of ATLAS sensitivity based on LHC data for typical signatures of R-Parity conserved SUSY\nmodels is presented. The possibilities of using kinematic variables in place of reco nstructed missing transverse energy for such searches\nis investigated. Th ese new variables are useful for reducing standard model backgrounds\, esp ecially for the zero lepton case. We describe\na new method for estimating the contribution towards irreducible background for SUSY events arising f rom Z boson production with\nassociated jets.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/con tributionDisplay.py?contribId=8&sessionId=22&confId=104297 LOCATION:Wilson Hall One West URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=8&sessionId=22& confId=104297 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
