| > > | In this project the student will be studying the feasibility of the Higgs search with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), in a given Higgs search channel or channels. | |||||||
| The student is advised to read about the LHC, its physics programme, and past and ongoing searches for the Higgs boson. Select some papers from this list of overview papers. | ||||||||
| Changed: | ||||||||
| < < | The fractions of signal and background events that will contribute to a particular final state (eg, tt-->bqq blv) should be calculated using this table of Branching Ratios (BR) (from PYTHIA 6.323). It contains useful data on the BRs of Higgs, W and Z bosons, tau leptons, and more. | |||||||
| > > | The fractions of signal and background events that will contribute to a particular final state (eg, tt-->bqq blv) should be calculated using this table of Branching Ratios (BR) (from PYTHIA 6.323). It contains useful data on the BRs of Standard Model particles such as W and Z bosons, tau leptons, and more. Higgs boson production cross-sections and decay branching fractions can be obtained from the ATLAS note Higgs production cross-sections and branching ratios for the ATLAS Higgs working group, ATL-COM-PHYS-2007-024 | |||||||
