Title: Search for Scalar Diphoton Resonances in the Mass Range 65 600 GeV with the ATLAS Detector in p p Collision Data at s = 8 T e V

Dataset ·

CERN-LHC-ATLAS. Measurement of the 95% CL limit on the fiducial production cross-section times branching ratio of a Higgs-like resonance decaying into two photons, as a function of the resonance mass mX. The resonance is assumed to be narrow. The narrow width assumption is valid for natural widths smaller than about 0.09 GeV + 0.01*mX. The interference of the resonance with the continuum background is neglected. The cross-section is reported for a fiducial volume defined as follows: photon |eta| < 2.37, photon energies required to be E1 > 22 GeV and E2 > 22 GeV for mX < 110 GeV. For mX > 110 GeV, mass-dependent cuts are applied on top: E1/mgg > 0.4 and E2/mgg > 0.3, where mgg is the diphoton invariant mass. The particle-level isolation within a cone of size DR=0.4 around each photon is required to be less than 14 GeV.
