in This Talk • Look into two major topics in the LHC physics i.e. • Mass and EW symmetry breaking (Higgs) • Hierarchy puzzles at TeV scale (BSM) • These are “Searches”, therefore they have to be based on the good control over the BG • heavily rely on • the trigger and detector performance • the large number of ATLAS SM measurements • MCs finely tuned with data • many analysis use the data-driven estimates of BG • measurement in the data control region, transfer it to the signal region with the help of MC ATLAS / JINNOUCHI
LHC (pp) runs in 2010 and 2011 • In 2010 • First 7TeV pp collisions started • 48 pb-1 pp collisions delivered (45pb-1 recorded by ATLAS) • In 2011 (pp run finished at Oct 30.) • Peak luminosity 3.65 x 1033cm-2s-1 • ATLAS : 5.2(5.6) fb-1 data recorded(delivered) • ATLAS data taking efficiency : ~ 93.5% (over the year) • 1380 bunches, 50nsec spacing, 1.5E11 p/ bunch Log scale Linear scale 2010 2011 LHC will run in 2012 then long shutdown / willrestart at higher energy ATLAS / JINNOUCHI
ATLAS detector • Gigantic general purpose detector with well balanced performance on resolutions and high hermetic acceptance • Emphasis on lepton measurements with excellent magnets • 2T central solenoid for inner tracker • Air core Toroid magnet (less MS + forward acceptance) for outer muon system • Accordion shape LAr EM calorimeters for fine lateral + longitudinal EM shower shape • Hadron Calorimeter is fully hermetic and thickness is ~ 30 X0 good jet/missing ET resolution Tracking 2 Silicon systems + Transition radiation tracker EM Calo sampling LArcalo HAD Calo plastiscintilator (barrel) + LAr (endcap) Muon trigger chambers (RPC, TGC) + precision chambers (MDT, CSC) ATLAS / JINNOUCHI
Trigger and data taking performance • Flexible trigger menu: • definition continuously updated along the luminosity evolvement through the year • primary unprescaled triggers in 2011 for 3x1033cm-2s-1 menu • electrons: pT>22GeV • muons: pT>20GeV • jets: pT>240GeV • etmiss: pT>60GeV • combinatory menu for low pT • Data taking and quality • efficiency ~ 93.5% • single detector operational fraction > 97% ATLAS / JINNOUCHI
High luminosity = Pile up: the new challenge in 2011 • most of 2011 data, 50nsec bunch trains running at LHC • in-bunch & out-of-bunch pile-up effects need to be taken into account • MC superimposes reweighted MB events to reproduce data mean # collisions 6.3 11.6 (after reducing beam size) Z𝜇𝜇 with 20 reconstructed vertices ATLAS / JINNOUCHI
Mass and EW symmetry breaking HIGGS ATLAS / JINNOUCHI
Theoretical and indirect exp. Higgs constraints Perturbativity and (meta) stability bounds versus the SM cut-off scale L • in the Standard Model, Higgs must be light • However in the BSM, Higgs can be heavy must also search for a heavy Higgs boson EW fit not including direct Higgs searches J.

Higgs search strategy at LHC • multi-channel combined analysis is required • expected cross sections are in any case below “a few pb” • integrated luminosity and BG rej. are the two important factors • light Higgs • 𝛾𝛾 final state • 𝜏𝜏 final state • lepton final states via WW*,ZZ* • heavy Higgs • lepton final states via WW(*),ZZ(*) Dependence of the branching fractions on MH drives search strategy ATLAS / JINNOUCHI
General search strategy Cut & Count based analysis • trigger • (changing along the luminosity evolution) • event Selection • Object definition (leptons, jets, missing ET, ...) • Specific event selection and acceptance definition • Collision event selection (common method) • background evaluation • Mostly data driven methods • count events in background enhanced control regions (CR) • extrapolation to signal region (SR) based on MC or data • for each value of MH, likelihood fit of data with one or more variablesConfidence Interval based on CLS method on 𝜇=𝜎/𝜎SM • finally, channel combination Confidence Intervals for 𝜇 vs. MH ATLAS / JINNOUCHI

ATLAS / JINNOUCHI
Two experimental approaches for “unknown” (1) Search for new particles / phenomena via model independent approach • Cross section (and many other observables) measurements of Standard Model processes, compared to theory prediction • Search the “peaks” or “excess”in mass distributions, or in many other kinetic observables (2) Search for specific signatures corresponding to well defined BSM physics models • Supersymmetry, Extra Dimensions, etc • search strategy should be model-independent as much as possible within the framework ATLAS / JINNOUCHI
