Search for Neutral Minimally Supersymmetric Standard Model Higgs Decaying to Two Hadronic Taus with the ATLAS Detector in pp collisions at 7 TeV Center of Mass EnergyDhaliwal, Saminder K. 19 March 2013 (has links)
This thesis presents the first search for a neutral Minimal Supersymmetric Standard
Model Higgs boson decaying to a pair of hadronic taus in proton-proton collisions with
a center-of-mass energy of √s = 7 TeV. Results are presented for an integrated lumi-
nosity of 1.056 fb−1 using data from the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider.
After signal selection, 245 events are observed. The number of events is consistent the
background estimate of 256 ± 26. An exclusion limit for the Higgs boson production is
derived as a function of (cross-section)×(branching ratio). This limit is presented as a
function of two parameters: mA and tanβ in the mmax scenario. A point in the (mA, h
tanβ) phase space is excluded if the signal hypothesis is rejected at the 95% confidence level.

Search for neutral Higgs bosons decaying into the leptonic-hadronic di-tau final state in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with the ATLAS detectorFriedrich, Felix 27 October 2017 (has links)
A search for the neutral Higgs bosons predicted by the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) is presented. The analysis is performed on data from proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of sqrt{s}=8 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider recorded by the ATLAS detector. The data were collected in 2012, correspond to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb-1 and represent the full 8 TeV dataset. This search is performed in the tau-tau final state, with one tau lepton decaying leptonically and the other hadronically. The analysis is optimized in three categories, addressing low-mass Higgs bosons which are accompanied by a bottom quark induced jet or not and high-mass Higgs bosons. No deviations from Standard Model predictions are observed, and therefore no evidences of new Higgs bosons are found. Exclusion limits are set on the cross-section times branching fraction of the Higgs bosons and for parameters m_A and tan{beta} of MSSM benchmark scenarios. / In dieser Arbeit wird die Suche nach neutralen Higgs-Bosonen im Rahmen des Minimalen Supersymmetrischen Standardmodells (MSSM) vorgestellt. Die Analyse basiert auf dem kompletten Datensatz von Proton-Proton-Kollisionen des Large Hadron Colliders, LHC, die mit dem ATLAS-Detektor bei einer Schwerpunktsenergie von sqrt{s}=8 TeV im Jahr 2012 aufgenommen wurden. Die Daten entsprechen einer Luminosität 20.3 fb-1. Die Suche fokussiert auf den Tau-Tau Endzustand, wobei ein Tau-Lepton hadronisch zerfällt und das andere leptonisch, entweder in ein Elektron oder in ein Muon. Die Analyse wurde in drei Kategorien optimiert, um sowohl für Higgs-Bosonen im niedrigen Massenbereich von 90-200 GeV als auch im hohen Massenbereich von 200 GeV bis 1 TeV sensitiv zu sein. Der niedrige Massenbereich wurde dabei in zwei Unterkategorien geteilt, entsprechend der Anwesenheit bzw. Abwesenheit von zusätzlichen, durch b-Quarks induzierten Jets, um die Empfindlichkeit für spezielle Higgs-Boson-Produktionsmodi zu erhöhen. Im Rahmen dieser Analyse wurden keine Hinweise auf neue Higgs-Bosonen gefunden und daher Ausschlussgrenzen auf den Wirkungsquerschnitt x Verzweigungsverhältnis gesetzt. Ebenfalls wurden die Resultate in MSSM-Benchmark-Szenarien interpretiert.
