Measurements of cross sections and couplings of the Higgs boson using the ATLAS detector at CERN’s LHC are presented. Data from proton proton collisions at [Formula: see text], 8 and 13 TeV are discussed. A range of production and decay couplings can be tested with a precision that depends on the generality of the assumptions made. Data at 7 and 8 TeV are also combined with CMS results to enhance the precision. The results are all consistent with predictions of the Standard Model.

Abstract Measurements of the fiducial inclusive and differential production cross sections of the Higgs boson in proton-proton collisions at $$ \sqrt{s} $$ s = 13 TeV are performed using events where the Higgs boson decays into a pair of W bosons that subsequently decay into a final state with an electron, a muon, and a pair of neutrinos. The analysis is based on data collected with the CMS detector at the LHC during 2016–2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 137 fb−1. Production cross sections are measured as a function of the transverse momentum of the Higgs boson and the associated jet multiplicity. The Higgs boson signal is extracted and simultaneously unfolded to correct for selection efficiency and resolution effects using maximum-likelihood fits to the observed distributions in data. The integrated fiducial cross section is measured to be 86.5 ± 9.5 fb, consistent with the Standard Model expectation of 82.5 ± 4.2 fb. No significant deviation from the Standard Model expectations is observed in the differential measurements.

We study the production of a light top-squark pair in association with the lightest Higgs boson [Formula: see text], as predicted by the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM) in proton–proton collisions at center-of-mass energies of 13 TeV and 33 TeV. We scan randomly about 10 million points of the NMSSM parameter space, allowing all possible decays of the lightest top-squark and lightest Higgs boson, with no further assumptions, except for known physical constraints such as perturbative bounds, dark matter relic density consistent with recent Planck experiment measurements, Higgs mass bounds on the next to lightest Higgs boson, [Formula: see text], assuming it is consistent with LHC measurements for the Standard Model Higgs boson, LEP bounds for the chargino mass and [Formula: see text] invisible width, experimental bounds on [Formula: see text] meson rare decays and some LHC experimental bounds on SUSY particle spectra different to the particles involved in our analysis. We find that for low mass top-squark, the dominating decay mode is [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text]. We use three benchmark points with the highest cross-sections, which naturally fall within the compressed spectra of the top-squark, and make a phenomenological analysis to determine the optimal event selection that maximizes the signal significance over backgrounds. We focus on the leptonic decays of both [Formula: see text]’s and the decay of the lightest Higgs boson into [Formula: see text]-quarks [Formula: see text]. Our results show that the high luminosity LHC will have limitations to observe the studied SUSY scenario and only a proton collider with a collision energy above 33 TeV will be able to observe this signal with more than three standard deviations over background, albeit for stop masses below 300 GeV.

Abstract Measurements of four-lepton differential and integrated fiducial cross-sections in events with two same-flavour, opposite-charge electron or muon pairs are presented. The data correspond to 139 fb−1 of $$ \sqrt{s} $$ s = 13 TeV proton-proton collisions, collected by the ATLAS detector during Run 2 of the Large Hadron Collider (2015–2018). The final state has contributions from a number of interesting Standard Model processes that dominate in different four-lepton invariant mass regions, including single Z boson production, Higgs boson production and on-shell ZZ production, with a complex mix of interference terms, and possible contributions from physics beyond the Standard Model. The differential cross-sections include the four-lepton invariant mass inclusively, in slices of other kinematic variables, and in different lepton flavour categories. Also measured are dilepton invariant masses, transverse momenta, and angular correlation variables, in four regions of four-lepton invariant mass, each dominated by different processes. The measurements are corrected for detector effects and are compared with state-of-the-art Standard Model calculations, which are found to be consistent with the data. The Z → 4ℓ branching fraction is extracted, giving a value of (4.41 ± 0.30) × 10−6. Constraints on effective field theory parameters and a model based on a spontaneously broken B − L gauge symmetry are also evaluated. Further reinterpretations can be performed with the provided information.
