Energy Frontier Research With ATLAS: Final Report
- Boston Univ., MA (United States)
The Boston University (BU) group is playing key roles across the ATLAS experiment: in detector operations, the online trigger, the upgrade, computing, and physics analysis. Our team has been critical to the maintenance and operations of the muon system since its installation. During Run 1 we led the muon trigger group and that responsibility continues into Run 2. BU maintains and operates the ATLAS Northeast Tier 2 computing center. We are actively engaged in the analysis of ATLAS data from Run 1 and Run 2. Physics analyses we have contributed to include Standard Model measurements (W and Z cross sections, t\bar{t} differential cross sections, WWW^* production), evidence for the Higgs decaying to \tau^+\tau^-, and searches for new phenomena (technicolor, Z' and W', vector-like quarks, dark matter).
