The Discovery of the Higgs Boson at the ATLAS Experiment

The ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN accounced the discovery of a new boson in 2012. This new boson was confirmed as consistent with the Standard Model Higgs boson in early 2013. Evidence for a Higgs boson of mass $\approx 125$~GeV and spin 0 is seen in its decay to $W$-bosons,...

Sumario:The ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN accounced the discovery of a new boson in 2012. This new boson was confirmed as consistent with the Standard Model Higgs boson in early 2013. Evidence for a Higgs boson of mass $\approx 125$~GeV and spin 0 is seen in its decay to $W$-bosons, $Z$-bosons, photons, $b$-quarks and tau leptons. These decay channels lead to a combined signal strength that is in agreement with the Standard Model. I will present the discovery and the latest results from the ATLAS Collaboration.
