Observation of Higgs Boson Decays to WW* with Dilepton and Missing Transverse Momentum Events in the ATLAS Detector

2015

This thesis presents a wide range of studies that go from energy reconstruction at the cell level in TileCal performance reconstruction of the E/T measurement in ATLAS, and finishing with the discovery of the Higgs boson decaying into a pair of W bosons. The reconstruction of the energy, as well as the time, in the TileCal cells is provided by the OF algorithm. These measurements are the inputs for object reconstruction algorithms which base their logic on the signal over noise ratio. In this light, the determination of the cell noise is crucial for an accurate event recons- truction in ATLAS. The impact of the TileCal noise constants has been evaluated through the performance of topocluste…
