Description

The ATLAS collaboration has searched for the Standard Model Higgs Boson in the first run-2 data using 3.2 fb^(-1) at 13 TeV. Results are presented in terms of central value and limits on the fiducial and total cross-sections. Several "Beyond Standard Model" theories predict the existence of additional heavy Higgs particles or di-Higgs resonances. Searches are conducted using the gamma-gamma, ZZ, WW and fermionic decay channels, and cover a large range of masses for the hypothetical resonances.
