Description

A Higgs boson search in the H->WW (lvlv, lvqq) decay mode has been performed using proton-proton collisions recently recorded by the ATLAS detector. The search in the final state with two leptons and two neutrinos covers a broad mass range from 110 - 600 GeV. Upper limits are derived on the cross section of a Standard Model Higgs boson.The semi-leptonic final state with a lepton, neutrino and two or more jets provides additional sensitivity to the fully-leptonic decay mode in the high mass region from 300 to 600 GeV. Upper limits are derived on the cross section of a Standard Model Higgs boson.
