| Abstract: | The 4 leptons channel plays a significant role in the recent discovery of a new particle in the search for the standard model Higgs boson by the ATLAS experiment. Before presenting the search for the Higgs into 4 leptons with 2011 and 2012 data in itself, we cover some of the studies needed in ATLAS to achieve this result. They range from improvements in electron reconstruction, to the measurement of b-jets produced in association with Z bosons. |
| Speaker: | Nicolas Morange - Ecole Polytechnique
 Dr Morange obtained his Ph.D. in 2012 from the French Ecole Polytechnique. After completing a master's degree in theoretical physics at the Ecole Normale Superieure in 2009, he turned to experimental particle physics and worked on the ATLAS experiment. His research subjects were the Z+b measurement, and the search for the Higgs boson in the 4 leptons channel.
