Abstract:

This paper reports a measurement of D *卤 meson production in jets from proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 鈭歴=7TeV at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The measurement is based on a data sample recorded with the ATLAS detector with an integrated luminosity of 0.30pb -1 for jets with transverse momentum between 25 and 70 GeV in the pseudorapidity range |畏|<2.5. D *卤 mesons found in jets are fully reconstructed in the decay chain: D *+鈫扗0蟺 +, D0鈫扠 -蟺 +, and its charge conjugate. The production rate is found to be N(D *卤)/N(jet)=0.025卤0. 001(stat.)卤0.004(syst.) for D *卤 mesons that carry a fraction z of the jet momentum in the range 0.3

Abstract:

Results of three searches are presented for the production of supersymmetric particles decaying into final states with missing transverse momentum and exactly two isolated leptons, e or 渭. The analysis uses a data sample collected during the first half of 2011 that corresponds to a total integrated luminosity of 1fb-1 of s=7TeV proton-proton collisions recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. Opposite-sign and same-sign dilepton events are separately studied, with no deviations from the Standard Model expectation observed. Additionally, in opposite-sign events, a search is made for an excess of same-flavour over different-flavour lepton pairs. Effective production cross sections in excess of 9.9 fb for opposite-sign events containing supersymmetric particles with missing transverse momentum greater than 250 GeV are excluded at 95% CL. For same-sign events containing supersymmetric particles with missing transverse momentum greater than 100 GeV, effective production cross sections in excess of 14.8 fb are excluded at 95% CL. The latter limit is interpreted in a simplified electroweak gaugino production model excluding chargino masses up to 200 GeV, under the assumption that slepton decay is dominant. 漏 2012 CERN.
