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. 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aParticle acceleration 606 $aMathematical physics 606 $aPhysical measurements 606 $aMeasurement 606 $aParticle Acceleration and Detection, Beam Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23037 606 $aTheoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19005 606 $aMeasurement Science and Instrumentation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31040 615 0$aParticle acceleration. 615 0$aMathematical physics. 615 0$aPhysical measurements. 615 0$aMeasurement. 615 14$aParticle Acceleration and Detection, Beam Physics. 615 24$aTheoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics. 615 24$aMeasurement Science and Instrumentation. 676 $a530 676 $a530.1 676 $a530.8 676 $a539.73 700 $aAlison$b John$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0792564 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300422203321 996 $aThe Road to Discovery$92529463 997 $aUNINA
