In this paper, we present the computational task-management tool Ganga, which allows for
the specification, submission, bookkeeping and post-processing of computational tasks on a …

This thesis describes a search for the Standard Model Higgs boson in the H→ W+W−→ µ+
νµµ− νµ decay channel. A traditional cut analysis is compared with multivariate classification …

This thesis presents the first measurement of the W {sup+} W {sup-} production cross section
in proton-proton collisions at {radical}(s)= 7 TeV using the complete data set of 4.7 fb {sup-1} …

The focus of many software architectures of the LHC experiments is to deliver a well-
designed Event Data Model (EDM). Changes and additions to the stored data are often …

In the LHC era, it is crucial to gain a good understanding of the electroweak sector of the
Standard Model (SM). Determining the cross-sections of electroweak processes is therefore …

Ganga is a grid job submission and management system widely used in the ATLAS and
LHCb experiments and several other communities in the context of the EGEE project. The …

Measurement of the W+W- diboson production cross-section with the ATLAS Experiment at the
Large Hadron Collider Page 1 Measurement of the W+W − diboson production cross-section …

In this paper, we present the High Energy Physics data format, processing toolset and
analysis library A4, providing fast I/O of structured data using the Google protocol buffer …

Trigger optimization studies for the search of the Standard-Model Higgs boson in proton-
proton-collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of {radical}(s)= 7 TeV with the ATLAS …

One of the main targets at the LHC is the problem of particle masses. The Standard Model
(SM) offers as solution the Higgs mechanism with at least one scalar particle that will be …
