Recent Higgs results from the ATLAS experiment
No full textA summary of recent Higgs physics results with the ATLAS detector
Alignment of the ATLAS Inner Detector using TeV data
No full textWe will present the status and performance of the ATLAS Inner Detector alignment system using the 2010 LHC run at 7 TeV. The alignment is performed combining isolated high pT collision tracks with cosmic ray tracks triggered during the empty LHC bunches. The alignment of the silicon subsystems had been performed at the module level, while the straw-tube tracker has been aligned at the channel level
John Wesley and Slavery: Myth and Reality
No full text1. Was Wesley opposed to the institution of slavery? Or is that merely myth, because he only opposed the horrors of the slave trade? The reason for this question is that many eighteenth-century persons were greatly opposed to the slave trade, but had no moral difficulty with the institution of slavery.
2. If he opposed slavery, was it the abuses that troubled him, or did he reject the philosophical underpinnings of the institution itself?
3. What is truth and what is myth about Wesley\u27s contemporaries, such as his friend John Newton, author of Amazing Grace, and known as the converted slave trader?
4. Is it myth or reality that Wesley\u27s position was supported by Coke and Asbury on the American scene?
5. And finally, was Wesley\u27s influence on the ending of slavery truly significant, or is that myth
Recent Higgs Results from the ATLAS Experiment
No full textThis paper presents recent results on the Higgs boson from the ATLAS experiment. The Higgs boson is studied in several decay channels, and their measurements are combined when possible. The Collaboration reports on the signal strength, couplings, and spin of the newly discovered particle, and finds them to be consistent with Standard Model predictions. The Higgs branching fraction to invisible particles is constrained and no evidence of physics beyond the Standard Model is found
Angular analysis of Bd0 → K ∗ μ + μ − decays in pp collisions at √s=8 TeV with the ATLAS detector
No full textAn angular analysis of the decay Bd0 → K∗μ+μ− is presented, based on proton-proton collision data recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. The study is using 20.3 fb−1 of integrated luminosity collected during 2012 at centre-of-mass energy of s=8 TeV. Measurements of the K* longitudinal polarisation fraction and a set of angular parameters obtained for this decay are presented. The results are compatible with the Standard Model predictions.[Figure not available: see fulltext.]

Time-dependent angular analysis of the decay Bs -> J/psi phi and extraction of Delta Gamma_s and the CP-violating weak phase phi_s by ATLAS
No full textA measurement of Bs J/psi phi decay parameters, including the CP-violating weak phase phi_s and the decay width difference Delta Gamma_s is reported, using 4.9 fb-1 of integrated luminosity collected in 2011 by the ATLAS detector from LHC pp collisions at a centre- of-mass energy sqrt(s) = 7 TeV. The mean decay width Gamma_s and the transversity amplitudes |A0(0)|^2 and |A||(0)|^2 are also measured. The values reported for these parameters are: phi_s = 0.22 \pm 0.41 (stat.) \pm 0.10 (syst.) rad Delta Gamma_s = 0.053 \pm 0.021 (stat.) \pm 0.010 (syst.) ps-1 Gamma_s = 0.677 \pm 0.007 (stat.) \pm 0.004 (syst.) ps-1 |A0(0)|^2 = 0.528 \pm 0.006 (stat.) \pm 0.009 (syst.) |A||(0)|^2 = 0.220 \pm 0.008 (stat.) \pm 0.007 (syst.) where the values quoted for phi_s and Delta Gamma_s correspond to the solution compatible with the external measurements to which the strong phase delta perpendicular is constrained and where Delta Gamma_s is constrained to be positive. The fraction of S-wave KK or f0 contamination through the decays Bs -> J/psi K+K-(f0) is measured as well and is found to be consistent with zero. Results for phi_s and Delta Gamma_s are also presented as 68%, 90% and 95% likelihood contours, which show agreement with Standard Model expectations
Measurement of k T splitting scales in W→ℓν events at s√=7 TeV with the ATLAS detector
No full textA measurement of splitting scales, as defined by the k T clustering algorithm, is presented for final states containing a W boson produced in proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. The measurement is based on the full 2010 data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36 pb−1 which was collected using the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Cluster splitting scales are measured in events containing W bosons decaying to electrons or muons. The measurement comprises the four hardest splitting scales in a k T cluster sequence of the hadronic activity accompanying the W boson, and ratios of these splitting scales. Backgrounds such as multi-jet and top-quark-pair production are subtracted and the results are corrected for detector effects. Predictions from various Monte Carlo event generators at particle level are compared to the data. Overall, reasonable agreement is found with all generators, but larger deviations between the predictions and the data are evident in the soft regions of the splitting scales
