Oral presentation
Vector-boson pair production plays an important role for present and future LHC experiments. Such processes allow for a solid validation of the weak sector of the SM and, moreover, provide the opportunity to search for effects of anomalous couplings predicted by various New-Physics models. To improve on the corresponding theory predictions, we present the computation of the NLO electroweak...

Oral presentation
The production of electro-weak bosons via weak boson fusion is an
important process at the LHC, as it allows testing the Standard Model
(SM) in various ways. For example, if at least two bosons are produced,
Feynman graphs with quartic gauge couplings appear. Therefore, this
process class can be used to constrain or discover contributions from
anomalous quartic gauge couplings. Also, at...

Many supersymmetry models feature gauginos and also sleptons with masses less than a few hundred GeV. These can give rise to direct pair production rates at the LHC that can be observed in the data sample recorded by the ATLAS detector. The talk presents results from searches for gaugino and slepton pair production in final states with leptons.

Oral presentation
Naturalness arguments for weak-scale supersymmetry favour supersymmetric partners of the third generation quarks with masses not too far from those of their Standard Model counterparts. Real and virtual production of third generation squarks via decay of a gluino can be significant if the mass of the gluino does not exceed the TeV scale.

An extended QCD sector beyond the minimal supersymmetric standard model or the admission of R-parity violation introduces new signatures to the search for supersymmetry at the LHC. Strongly interacting resonances may decay to jets, sleptons may decay via lepton-flavour violating processes and lightest supersymmetric particles may decay into many leptons with or without missing transverse...

The Run I of the LHC has not revealed any sign of new physics beyond the standard model (BSM).

After the discovery of a Higgs boson at the LHC, the next important step is to measure its couplings to fermions and boson to unravel its true nature, in particular to look for effects beyond the Standard Model (SM). In order to ultimately test the shape of the scalar potential that triggers the electroweak symmetry breaking, it is crucial to measure the trilinear Higgs coupling at the LHC....

Almost all data collected at the LHC during the 7 and 8 TeV runs has now been analysed

The study of electroweak boson pair production is a powerful
test of the spontaneously broken gauge symmetry of the Standard Model
(SM) and can be used to search for phenomena beyond the SM. Heavy

quarks and gluons, corresponding to integrating out a...

If Dark Matter interacts weakly with Standard Model particles it can be produced at the LHC and identified via initial state radiation (ISR) of the incoming partons. The signature left in the detector is that of the ISR particle (jet, photon, Z or W) recoiling off of the invisible Dark Matter particles, resulting in a large momentum imbalance. Similar signatures result from the...

Events containing several leptons are useful probes of new phenomena due to the low background from Standard Model processes. We look for anomalous production of prompt like-sign leptons or events with three or more leptons, as well as search for excited leptons, heavy leptons and heavy neutrinos. The searches use data recorded in 2012 at sqrt(s)=8 TeV centre-of-mass energy by the ATLAS and...
