Sumario:SM Higgs boson discovery and exclusion potentials in ATLAS at 14 TeV, 10 TeV and 7 TeV LHC energy are discussed. For three decay modes, namely H-->WW-->llnunu, H-->ZZ-->4l and H-->gamma gamma, separate exclusion potentials are considered at 7 TeV energy and 1fb-1 luminosity. Results are based mostly on full Monte-Carlo simulations. The first measurements of backgrounds to SM Higgs production are also presented.
