Heavy flavour decay muon production at forward rapidity in proton--proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV
2012
The production of muons from heavy flavour decays is measured at forward rapidity in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV collected with the ALICE experiment at the LHC. The analysis is carried out on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity $L_{\rm int} = 16.5$ nb$^{-1}$. The transverse momentum and rapidity differential production cross sections of muons from heavy flavour decays are measured in the rapidity range 2.5 < y < 4, over the transverse momentum range 2 < $p_{\rm T}$ < 12 GeV/$c$. The results are compared to predictions based on perturbative QCD calculations.
Performance of the ALICE experiment at the CERN LHC
2014
ALICE is the heavy-ion experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The experiment continuously took data during the first physics campaign of the machine from fall 2009 until early 2013, using proton and lead-ion beams. In this paper we describe the running environment and the data handling procedures, and discuss the performance of the ALICE detectors and analysis methods for various physics observables.
Search for the Standard Model Higgs boson in the two photon decay channel with the ATLAS detector at the LHC
2011
A search for the Standard Model Higgs boson in the two photon decay channel is reported, using 1.08 fb−11.08 fb[superscript −1] of proton–proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector. No significant excess is observed in the investigated mass range of 110–150 GeV. Upper limits on the cross-section times branching ratio of between 2.0 and 5.8 times the Standard Model prediction are derived for this mass range.
Search for heavy long-lived charged particles with the ATLAS detector in pp collisions at root s=7 TeV
2011
A search for long-lived charged particles reaching the muon spectrometer is performed using a data sample of 37 pb[superscript −1] from pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC in 2010. No excess is observed above the estimated background. Stable [~ over τ] sleptons are excluded at 95% CL up to a mass of 136 GeV, in GMSB models with N[subscript 5] = 3, mmessenger = 250 TeV, sign(μ) = 1 and tanβ = 5. Electroweak production of sleptons is excluded up to a mass of 110 GeV. Gluino R-hadrons in a generic interaction model are excluded up to masses of 530 GeV to 544 GeV depending on the fraction of R-hadrons produced as [~ over g]-balls.
