Theoretical Background -- Experimental Setup -- Data Acquisition and Data Processing -- Measurement of the Inclusive Electron Cross-Section from Heavy-Flavour Decays with 2010 Data -- Search for Compressed Supersymmetry with 2011 Data |
| Summary |
880-01 The first part of this thesis presents the measurement of the inclusive cross-section for electron production from heavy-flavour decays in the electron transverse momentum range 7 GeV <pT <26 GeV using 1.3 pb-1 of 7 TeV proton-proton collision data collected by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider in 2010. The measured value of the cross-section within the fiducial range of the analysis is [sigma]_êHF = 0.946 ± 0.020(stat.) ± 0.146(syst.) ± 0.032(lumi.) [mu]b. Theoretical predictions are in good agreement with the measurement. The second part of this thesis is a search for compressed supersymmetric scenarios in events with missing transverse energy, jets, and one isolated low-pT lepton in the final state using 4.7 fb-1 of ATLAS data collected at 7 TeV center-of-mass energy in 2011. No significant excess of events over the Standard Model expectation is observed and exclusion limits are derived for a number of supersymmetric models |
