Discovery of the Higgs Boson with the Diphoton Decay Channel and First Differential Cross-section Measurements with ATLAS by PDF Summary

Book Description: In July 2012, a Higgs boson was discovered by both the ATLAS and CMS experiments. This thesis presents the most recent version of the H ->[gamma][gamma] analysis that was used in the discovery. Since the discovery, focus has shifted to measure the properties of the Higgs boson. The analysis presented here is the analysis of the Higgs couplings, where events are divided into twelve categories defined to isolate the various production processes. Specific focus is given to the vector boson fusion (VBF) process where the Higgs boson is produced in association with two foward/backward jets. Due to its small theory errors, the VBF process can allow for very precise measurements of the Higgs boson's properties. Also presented are the first differential cross section measurements for the Higgs boson as measured in the diphoton decay channel. Distributions in data are unfolded to particle level and compared with the latest Monte Carlo event generators for gluon-gluon fusion. Many distributions concentrate on the kinematics of the Higgs boson produced in association with jets. Finally, a proposal for a 1-jet VBF region for the high-luminosity LHC is proposed based on the difference in rapidity between the Higgs boson and the leading jet. This region shows good discrimination power against gluon-gluon fusion events and has been shown to discriminate against beyond the Standard Model couplings.
