Higgs Boson
Parallel Talk
Recently, an excess of events consistent with a Higgs boson with mass of about 125 GeV was reported by the CMS and ATLAS LHC experiments. The mass is consistent with the values that may be obtained in minimal supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model (SM), with third generation squarks masses at the TeV scale with large mixing. The apparently enhanced photon production rate and...

Higgs Boson
Parallel Talk
Results are presented on the search for the Standard Model Higgs combining all decay channels. The combination has been updated with the latest results released for the 2012 winter conferences, including additional channels with respect to the results released end of December 2011. The full data sample of 4.7 pb-1 of pp collisions collected in 2011 with the CMS experiment at the LHC have been...

Higgs Boson
Parallel Talk
The experimental results of the search for the Standard Model Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) running at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV are reported, based on a total integrated luminosity of up to 4.9 fb-1 collected by the ATLAS detector in 2011. Several channels contributing to the sensitivity in the high-mass region above mH-200 GeV are discussed. Upper limits are derived...

Higgs Boson
Parallel Talk
The talk summarises recent studies of the b-tagging performance in ATLAS data. Measurements of the efficiency to tag a jet originating from a b-quark are presented, as well as measurements of the rate with which c-jets or light-flavour jets are mistakenly tagged by the ATLAS b-tagging algorithms. These studies are important inputs to all physics analyses making use of b-tagging.

Higgs Boson
Parallel Talk
Results are presented on the search for the Standard Model Higgs decaying into two b-quarks, two tau leptons, two W bosons, with each boson decaying into a charged lepton and a neutrino, and two Z bosons, with one of the Z bosons decaying into charged leptons, and the second one into jets, neutrinos or tau leptons. The full data sample of 4.7 pb-1 of pp collisions collected in 2011 with the...

Higgs Boson
Parallel Talk
The discovery of a neutral Higgs boson with large decay branching fraction to tau and muon pairs, as well as the discovery of a charged Higgs boson would represent a strong evidence of new physics beyond the Standard Model. The experimental results of the searches for the Higgs bosons beyond the Standard Model with the ATLAS detector are reported. The searches are based on an integrated...
