Photon Physics at the LHC A Measurement of Inclusive Isolated Prompt Photon Production at s = 7 TeV with the ATLAS Detector /

This thesis reports on the first studies of Standard Model photon production at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) using the ATLAS detector.� Standard Model photon production is a large background in the search for Higgs bosons decaying into photon pairs, and is thus critical to understand.� The thesis...

520 # # |a This thesis reports on the first studies of Standard Model photon production at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) using the ATLAS detector.� Standard Model photon production is a large background in the search for Higgs bosons decaying into photon pairs, and is thus critical to understand.� The thesis explains the techniques used to reconstruct and identify photon candidates using the ATLAS detector, and describes a measurement of the production cross section for isolated prompt photons.� The thesis also describes a search for the Higgs boson in which the analysis techniques used in the measurement are exploited to reduce and estimate non-prompt backgrounds in diphoton events.
