Full textThe discovery of the Higgs Boson in 2012 confirms the Standard Model as the most successful theory describing the fundamental interactions of elemental particles. One of the important properties of the Higgs boson is its Yukawa coupling to the top quark, which in the Standard Model is the strongest due to the high mass of the quark. This thesis reports on a measurement of the top-Yukawa coupling with data collected by the ATLAS detector from 2015 to 2018 at 13 TeV center of mass energy. The coupling is studied in ttH(bb) events, a final state containing decay products of two top quarks with additional emission of a Higgs boson, where the Higgs decays into a pair of bottom quarks. This decay channel of the Higgs Boson has the largest branching ratio, but is systematically limited by the description of the dominant background process ttbb, a tt with additional two b quarks in the final state. The measurement takes advantage of the ability of the ATLAS detector to identify jets coming from a b quarks to construct analysis regions with various compositions of the signal and the background. To further separate the signal, a series of multivariate algorithms is employed and the ttH process is then extracted using a profile likelihood fit. The results are shown for the channel with a single lepton in the final state and for a combination with the dilepton channel. The background performance is studied in detail, where large mis-modeling is found. The measured ratio of the ttH production compared to the Standard Model prediction is found to be mu(ttH) = 0.84 +0.45 -0.39 (syst.) +-0.21 (stat.). The result is in agreement with the Standard Model prediction and corresponds to an observed (expected) significance of 1.9 sigma (2.3 sigma), an improvement compared to the previous ATLAS measurement which reported 1.4 sigma (1.6 sigma).

Full textThe Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN restarted in spring 2015 for three years (Run2) at an unexplored center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. A precise measurement of electron reconstruction efficiency in ATLAS, one of the two general purpose experiments of the LHC, is presented in the first part of this thesis with $Zee$ data sample recorded in 2015. This allows to extract scale factors between data and simulation that are used by all ATLAS physics analyses involving electrons. The results show the high ability of the ATLAS detector to reconstruct electrons from one hand and the good understanding of its performance on the other hand. The second part of the thesis is dedicated to a search for the Higgs boson production in association with a top quark pair (ttH), which could allow a first direct measurement of the top quark Yukawa couplingand could reveal new physics. The signature with two same-charge light leptons (electron or muon) without a hadronically decaying tau lepton final state is examined using the first 10% of the total expected Run2 dataset. Events with fake (non-prompt) leptons represent the main reducible background of this signature. An improved method to estimate it has been developped and is discussed in details in this thesis. Driving the total error, fake leptons background is found to be 1.5 to 3.6 times higher than in simulation and represent between 32 and 48% of the total background. The best-fit value of the ratio of observed and Standard Model cross sections of ttH production process, combining with other multilepton channels, is 2.5±0.7(stat)+1.1-0.9(syst), and an upper limit on this ratio of 4.9 (2.3 expected) is found at 95% confidence level

Full textIn this thesis, I present the search for ttH where the two top quarks decay hadronically, and the Higgs boson decays into b-quark pair. A multivariate analysis strategy is performed in order to discriminate the signal from the dominant backgrounds. This search has been already performed by ATLAS in Run 1 and resulted in a measured signal strength (μ) of μ=1.6+2.6-2.6. The search presented in this thesis is carried out using data collected by the ATLAS detector in Run 2 which corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 139 inverse femptobarn at the CoM energy of 13 TeV. An expected value of μ = 1.00 2.1−2.4 using Asimov data is obtained. The expected upper limit at 95% Confidence Level on the ttH signal cross-section is expected to be 4.4 times the SM prediction. One of the viable scenarios proposed by the SUSY Model, the R-parity violation (RpV), is nowadays highly considered since the more striking R-parity conserving (RpC) scenario has been heavily constrained by experimental data. The second work presented in this thesis focuses on this scenario with the search of a pair of scalar top partners (stop) decaying into two b-quarks and two charginos subsequently decaying into two b-quarks and a light-quarks which experimentally result in a final state signature with at least eight jets and at least six b-jet. The analysis strategy is based on counting the number of events in high jet and b-tagged jet multiplicity. The expected upper limits at 95% CL are placed on the cross-sections of the produced stop and chargino mass grid

Full textThe CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) experiment aims at studying the results of proton collisions produced by the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) at CERN. The discovery of the Higgs boson is a great leap forward as the corresponding mechanism states that particles masses are the result of an interaction with the associated scalar field. The nature of that field is being studied in details and this will occupy the CMS collaborators for the next years. The characterization of the Higgs sector as well as the search for new physics will require the full capabilities of the LHC. Upgrades have been done along the way to reach much higher luminosities (>5x1034cm-2s-1). The CMS experiment deploys a 14000 tones detector equipped with advanced electronics to track and identify precisely all the particles produced from the collisions. Although CMS showed an excellent performance, it underwent upgrades, which include a new data acquisition system to fully exploit high luminosity conditions.The thesis work focuses on taking advantage of the newer analysis and selection techniques to search for tau leptons coming from Higgs which was produced associated to two tops (ttH). The ttH production mode is important to characterize the properties of the Higgs boson and in particular its coupling to top quarks, to which the ttH process has direct access. The Higgs to tau leptons is of particular interest as it probes the Higgs coupling to fermions. Given the mass of the Higgs, the tau decay mode is certainly favored but still represents challenging aspects in both selection and reconstruction techniques. The ttH analysis is particularly challenging given the complexity of final states and makes use of the latest signal extraction techniques. Since its observation in 2018, this analysis is one of the main priorities of the CMS experiment, and the Cristina Martin Perez plays a major role in the full Run 2 legacy paper preparation.Besides, this thesis focuses on the development of a dedicated tau selection algorithm, which had never been achieved with the electronics layers of the data acquisition system. A new trigger system was commissioned with proton collisions data and is being used as the baseline system starting 2016. Cristina Martin Perez plays a leading role in the performance studies and optimization of this trigger

Full textDiscovery of Higgs boson at LHC in 2012 is the most recent confirmation of the validity of Standard Model, theory describing elementary particles and their interactions. Many analysis now target the extraction of properties of the newly-discovered particle. A direct measurement in the ATLAS experiment of the top Yukawa coupling, one of these properties, is targeted in this work through ttH process. This coupling is of particular interest because of its strong sensitivity to New Physics. The first part of the work is about the automation of the calibration of the hadronic tile calorimeter of the ATLAS detector. A detailed description of the laser system used for a regular calibration of the calorimeter is done as well as of the calibration itself. Then more details on the algorithm written for the automation of the calibration are given. The final goal of this algorithm is to ease and fasten the calibration of channels with gain variation. The second part is dedicated to the search for ttH process through multilepton final states with emphasis on final state with two same-sign leptons, at least four jets and at least 1 b-tagged jet. Estimation of reducible backgrounds and statistical treatment of the analysis are detailed. A first version of the analysis with 13.2f b −1 , corresponding to 2015 and mid-2016 LHC data, ends with a final precision too low to extract any conclusion on the tt̄H process. In a second version of the analysis, improvements are made using multivariate analysis and adding more signal regions. The results from the multilepton analysis is combined with results from other ttH analysis, targeting other Higgs decays, to attain a final observed sentivity of 4.2σ. Thus an evidence for ttH production can be claimed from this combination. The final results give good agreement with Standard Model prediction

Full textSince the discovery of the Higgs boson at a mass around 125 GeV by both ATLAS and CMS collaborations in July 2012, it became crucial to measure its properties, such as its couplings to other particles, and search for any deviations from the Standard Model (SM) predictions. The top quark Yukawa coupling is close to unity and the strongest in the fermionic sector. Therefore, this coupling plays a crucial role in the theory. Determination of the associated production of The Higgs boson production with a pair of top quarks (ttH) offers a tree-level access to measuring this coupling. The analysis of ttH production at ATLAS experiment exploits several Higgs decay channel, together with different top quark decay modes. In this thesis, the study of the ttH (H → Multi lepton) process is presented in the topology where the Higgs decays to WW,ZZ or tautau, using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 79.8fb^-1 at √s = 13 TeV, collected with the ATLAS detector between 2015-2017. Improved knowledge on the background modelling and the complex fit model is used with many degrees of freedoms. Particularly different fit setups are presented in order to understand the modelling of the major irreducible background, ttW. Furthermore, a search for the SM Higgs boson pair production in the multi lepton final states is presented. The search uses 139fb^-1 of proton-proton collisions data at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV provided by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and recorded by the ATLAS experiment in 2015 and 2018. The first studies in two lepton same-sign channel is performed for lepton working point optimisation and estimation of background contributions. Template fit method is applied to estimated the reducible backgrounds and preliminary expected upper limit is calculated

Full textNo Modelo Padrão (SM), é previsto que o bosão de Higgs seja uma partícula escalar e que suas interações não violem a simetria CP. Após a observação da produção do bosão de Higgs em associação com um par de quarks top (ttH) pelas experiências ATLAS e CMS em 2018, a observação de uma componente ímpar à transformações de carga-paridade (CP) em um dos acoplamentos do bosão de Higgs constituiria uma importante descoberta de física além do SM (BSM). Recentemente, ATLAS e CMS procuraram essa componente em eventos ttH com o Higgs decaindo em dois fotões. No entanto, o acoplamento entre o Higgs e os fotões é induzido por loops e pode ser afetado por efeitos da nova física. Esta tese descreve o estudo da natureza CP do acoplamento de Yukawa do Higgs aos quarks top por meio da análise de eventos ttH no canal de decaimento H→bb, e fornece projeções deste estudo do Run 2 do Large Hadron Collider (LHC) ao LHC de alta luminosidade (HL-LHC). A análise usa dados de colisão protão-protão coletados com o detector ATLAS durante o período do Run 2 do Grande Colisor de Hadrões (LHC) com uma energia de centro de massa de √s=13 TeV e luminosidade integrada total de 139 fb-1. São usados apenas eventos contendo um ou dois leptões no estado final do decaimento do par de quarks top. Em seguida, os eventos são classificados em regiões de acordo com o número de jatos e o número de b-jatos marcados usando ponto de operação (WPs) de 60% and 70%. Várias técnicas multivariadas foram usadas para melhorar a sensibilidade da análise, uma árvore da decisão reforçada (BDT) foi treinada para separar o sinal do fundo e outra para distinguir entre diferentes cenários de CP. Variáveis sensíveis ao CP, incluindo observáveis calculadas no referencial de laboratório e variáveis angulares calculadas em referenciais específicos, foram usadas no ajuste e no treinamento das BDTs.Um ajuste de verossimilhança é executado em todas as regiões de análise para restringir as previsões de fundo e reduzir as incertezas sistemáticas. O valor esperado para o ângulo de mistura CP é obtido desse ajuste. Além disso, uma extrapolação da análise foi realizada nesta tese, a fim de fornecer projeções sobre a medição do ângulo de mistura de CP para o LHC de alta luminosidade (HL-LHC). Foram considerados diferentes cenários para a evolução das incertezas sistemáticas com o aumento esperado da luminosidade. O valor esperado para o ângulo de mistura de CP foi obtido para vários valores diferentes de luminosidade até 3000 fb-1. Com as atuais incertezas sistemáticas, espera-se que a produção de ttH pura CP-ímpar seja excluída com 99.73\% de nível de confiança (CL) apenas no final do projeto HL-LHC. A significância de exclusão CP-ímpar é representada em função da luminosidade para cada um dos cenários considerados, e os efeitos dos vários tipos de incertezas são avaliados.
In the Standard Model (SM), the Higgs boson is predicted to be a scalar particle with no CP-violating interactions. After the observation of the Higgs boson production in association with a top quark pair (ttH) by ATLAS and CMS in 2018, the measurement of an odd charge-parity (CP) component in one of the Higgs boson couplings would constitute an important discovery of physics beyond the SM (BSM). Recently, ATLAS and CMS searched for such a component in ttH events with the Higgs decaying into two photons. However, the coupling between the Higgs and the photons is loop-induced and could be modified by effects of new physics. This thesis describes the study of the CP nature of the Higgs Yukawa coupling to the top quarks by analyzing ttH events in the H→bb decay channel, and provides projections of this search from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) Run 2 to the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC). The analysis uses the full Run 2 dataset of proton-proton collision collected with the ATLAS detector at a center-of-mass energy of √s=13 TeV and total integrated luminosity of 139 fb-1. Only events containing either one or two leptons in the final state from the decay of the top quark pair are used in the analysis. Then, the events are classified into regions according to the number of jets and the number of b-tagged jets using the 60% and 70% working points (WPs). Two sets of multivariate classifiers are utilized to improve the analysis sensitivity. One classifier targets the classification of signal against backgrounds and the other targets the separation between different CP scenarios. Several CP sensitive variables, including lab-frame observables and angular variables calculated in specific frames, were used in the training of the BDTs. A profile likelihood fit is performed over all analysis regions to constrain the background predictions and reduce the systematic uncertainties. The expected value for the CP-mixing angle is presented. An extrapolation of the analysis is performed in order to provide projections on the measurement of the CP-mixing angle for the HL-LHC. Different scenarios for the evolution of the systematic uncertainties with the expected increase in the luminosity were considered. The expected value for the CP-mixing angle was obtained for several different values of luminosity up to 3000 fb-1. With the current systematic uncertainties, the pure CP-odd ttH production is expected to be excluded with 99.73% confidence level (CL) only at the end of the HL-LHC project. The CP-odd exclusion significance is represented as a function of the luminosity for each of the scenarios considered, and the effects of the various types of uncertainties are evaluated.
