Discovery Potential for the Standard Model Higgs at ATLAS

The talk summarizes the ATLAS discovery potential for a Standard Model Higgs boson. A statistical combination of four decay channels is described: Hto gamma gamma, tautau, WW and 4 leptons. Systematic uncertainties are incorporated by means of the profile likelihood method. Results are presented on...

Sumario:The talk summarizes the ATLAS discovery potential for a Standard Model Higgs boson. A statistical combination of four decay channels is described: Hto gamma gamma, tautau, WW and 4 leptons. Systematic uncertainties are incorporated by means of the profile likelihood method. Results are presented on the expected discovery potential and exclusion limits for a range of luminosities and hypothesized Higgs masses.
