Standard Model $H \gamma \gamma$ discovery potential with ATLAS

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2019-08-13 v1

Abstract

This contribution summarizes the discovery potential of the Standard Model Higgs boson using the HγγH \gamma \gamma decay with the ATLAS detector. The relevant detector performance aspects of photon reconstruction, photon identification and trigger issues are discussed. The potential of inclusive HγγH \gamma \gamma as well as Higgs boson searches in association with one or two hard jets are studied. The discovery potential is finally assessed using an unbinned multivariate maximum-likelihood fit with an expected integrated luminosity of 10fb1\approx 10 fb^{-1}.
