Abstract:

This Letter presents a measurement of W ±Z production in 1.02 fb -1 of pp collision data at s=7 TeV collected by the ATLAS experiment in 2011. Doubly leptonic decay events are selected with electrons, muons and missing transverse momentum in the final state. In total 71 candidates are observed, with a background expectation of 12.1±1.4(stat.)-2.0+4.1(syst.) events. The total cross section for W ±Z production for Z/γ * masses within the range 66 GeV to 116 GeV is determined to be σWZtot=20.5-2.8+3.1(stat.)-1.3+1.4(syst.)-0.8+0.9(lumi.) pb, which is consistent with the Standard Model expectation of 17.30.8+1.3 pb. Limits on anomalous triple gauge boson couplings are extracted. © 2012 CERN.

Abstract:

A search for microscopic black holes has been performed in a same-sign dimuon final state using 1.3 fb -1 of proton-proton collision data collected with the ATLAS detector at a centre of mass energy of 7 TeV at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The data are found to be consistent with the expectation from the Standard Model and the results are used to derive exclusion contours in the context of a low scale gravity model. © 2012 CERN.
