Search for the Standard Model Higgs boson in the two photon decay channel with the ATLAS detector at the LHC
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
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.
