Standard Model Measurements With the Atlas Detector
Book (italiano):
<p>This thesis deals with two main procedures performed with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The noise description in the hadronic calorimeter TileCal represents a very valuable technical job. The second part presents a fruitful physics analysis - the cross section measurement of the process p+p ? Z<sup>0</sup> ? t + t.</p><p>The Monte Carlo simulations of the TileCal are described in the first part of the thesis, including a detailed treatment of the electronic noise and multiple interactions (so-called pile-up). An accurate description of both is crucial for the reconstruction of e.g. jets or hadronic tau-jets. </p><p>The second part reports a Standard Model measurement of the Z<sup>0</sup> ? t + t process with the emphasis on the final state with an electron and a hadronically decaying tau-lepton. The Z<sup>0</sup> ? t + t channel forms the dominant background in the search for Higgs bosons decaying into tau lepton pairs, and thus the good understanding achieved here can facilitate more sensitive Higgs detection.</p>
