Observation of the W->taunu Process in the Atlas Experiment

Key Points

W->Tau decays were successfully observed in the ATLAS Experiment, leading to significant findings in particle physics.
Data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.46±0.27 pb^(-1) was analyzed at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV.
The approach involved searching for tau decays into a neutrino and a hadronic system within proton-proton collision data.
These results highlight the potential for understanding deeper particle interactions and physics in a high-energy environment.

Abstract

The ATLAS Experiment is a multi-purpose detector, operating at the LHC. In this thesis the first observation of W? ? ? decays in ATLAS with proton-proton collisions at 7 TeV centre-of-mass energy is presented. The amount of data used corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 2. 46�0. 27 pb^ (? 1). The W? ? ? decays are searched in the channel in which the tau decays into a neutrino and a hadronic system.
