Description
The ATLAS Detector: Performance Results -
The ATLAS experiment is designed to study the proton-proton collisions
produced at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN.
During Run I
data taking, the ATLAS trigger system has been used to collect
a rich
data sample which supports a wide variety of physics analyses.
The 2012 run saw larger luminosities and pile-up than 2011, which
placed large demands on both the trigger system and analyses.
The efficient reconstruction and identification of the different
leptons,
b-jets and missing transverse energy played a key role
in the different analyses,
specially in the discovery of the Higgs
boson announced in 2012.
This talk reports about efficiency, resolution, and general
performance of the ATLAS detector by using proton-proton
collision data at sqrt(s)=8 TeV collected in year 2012.
