Electron reconstruction and identi cation in ATLAS. Implication for the Higgs into four electron nal state.

The Higgs boson search is one of the primary issues for the LHC and the ATLAS experiment. The golden Higgs decay to ZZ* to 4 leptons is one of the most promising discovery channels.

Sumario:The Higgs boson search is one of the primary issues for the LHC and the ATLAS experiment. The golden Higgs decay to ZZ* to 4 leptons is one of the most promising discovery channels. Because of the small cross-section, a high electron reconstruction efficiency is required, especially for a low mass standard Higgs. We describe here the baseline analysis for the Higgs to ZZ* to 4 electron search and the latest optimizations performed for the electron reconstruction.
