From W/Z to Higgs: ATLAS Higgs Sensitivity Prospects for 2010/2011

Speaker

Pai-hsien Jennifer Hsu (Yale University)

Description

Abstract: 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 which is expected to be reached by the end of 2011. Particular emphasis is given to ongoing studies of the Standard Model W and Z boson production, in view of understanding some of the most important background processes in search for the Higgs boson.
