We analyse light Higgs scalar and pseudoscalar associated hadro-production in the 2-Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM) Type-X (or lepton-specific) within the parameter space allowed by theoretical self-consistency requirements as well as the latest…
New TeV-scale physics processes at the LHC can produce Higgs bosons with substantive transverse Lorentz boost, such that the Higgs's decay products are nominally contained in a single jet. In the case of a light Higgs decaying predominantly…

Measurements of the production cross-sections of the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson ($H$) decaying into a pair of $\tau$-leptons are presented. The measurements use data collected with the ATLAS detector from $pp$ collisions produced at…
In semi-leptonic $B$ decays with a tau lepton, features of the production process are imprinted on the tau helicity states. Since the tau momentum cannot be fully reconstructed experimentally, the available information on the tau properties…

The Higgs boson discovered at the LHC in 2012 has been observed coupling directly to $W$ and $Z$ bosons and to $\tau$ leptons, and indirectly to top quarks. In order to probe whether it is indeed the particle predicted by the Standard…
In phenomenological preparation for new measurements one searches for the carriers of quality signatures. Often, the first approach quantities may be difficult to measure or to provide sufficiently precise predictions for comparisons.…

A search is presented for a high mass neutral particle that decays directly to the emu final state. The data sample was recorded by the ATLAS detector in sqrt(s) = 7 TeV pp collisions at the LHC from March to June 2011 and corresponds to an…
We confront the indications of lepton flavor universality (LFU) violation observed in semi-tauonic $B$ meson decays with new physics (NP) searches using high $p_T$ tau leptons at the LHC. Using effective field theory arguments we correlate…
This article presents the sensitivity of the ATLAS experiment to the lepton-flavour-violating decays of $\tau\to 3\mu$. A method utilising the production of $\tau$ leptons via $W\to\tau\nu$ decays is used. This method is applied to the…
The ATLAS detector has been used to search for high mass ee or mumu resonances, such as new heavy neutral gauge bosons. Over 1 fb^{-1} of proton-proton collisions at s = 7 TeV recorded by the ATLAS experiment are used to search for a high…
The consecutive steps of cascade decay initiated by H to tau tau can be useful for the measurement of Higgs couplings and in particular of the Higgs boson parity. In the previous papers we have found, that multi-dimensional signatures of…
The pure leptonic or semileptonic character of tau decays makes them a good laboratory to test the structure of the weak currents and the universality of their couplings to the gauge bosons. The hadronic tau decay modes constitute an ideal…
The ability to identify jets containing B hadrons is important for the high-pT physics program of a general-purpose experiment such as ATLAS. b-tagging is in particular useful for selecting very pure top quark samples, for studying standard…
