ATLAS Pop-up Book

In progress, a book with a world-class pop-up book artist.

It should be done before LHC runs. It covers ATLAS, the Big Bang and some physics.

Project is funded and is being prepared for development

An outline exists:

From the Big Bang to Dark Matter, Extra Dimensions, Higgs, Microscopic Black Holes, New Forces, etc.

A team of producers and advisors has been formed:includes E. Johansson, P. Watkins, J. Pequenao, M. Barnett, R. Ruchti, M. Bardeen.

Deadline for completion: ~February 2009

Lancaster Particle Physics Package

M. Barnett – July 2008

Based on:

– Electron, muon and jet identification

– Classification of events into the categories We,

W, Zee, Z, background from jet production

– Search for H4l

(one event in the complete dataset)

– Calculate ratio We/W, Zee/Z, W/Z

– Each group analyses (at least) 20 events via Atlantis

RAL ATLAS Exercise

M. Barnett – July 2008

Put statistics together and measure ratio

We/W, Zee/Z, Z/W

– The ratio We/W,

Zee/Z was typically correct

– W/Z was always too low

(~4-5 rather than 10)
