The thesis describes essential work on the alignment of the inner tracker during the commissioning of the experiment and development of the electron identification algorithm. The subsequent analysis focuses on the search for the Higgs boson in the WW channel, including the development of a method to model the critical W+jet background. In addition, the thesis provides excellent introductions, suitable for non-specialists, to Higgs physics, to the LHC, and to the ATLAS experiment.Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053Particle accelerationMathematical physicsPhysical measurementsMeasurement   Particle Acceleration and Detection, Beam Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23037Theoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19005Measurement Science and Instrumentationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31040Particle acceleration.Mathematical physics.Physical measurements.Measurement   .Particle Acceleration and Detection, Beam Physics.Theoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics.Measurement Science and Instrumentation.530530.1530.8539.73Alison Johnauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut792564BOOK9910300422203321The Road to Discovery2529463UNINA
