  Evidence for Higgs-boson Yukawa coupling to tau leptons with the ATLAS Detector

  Results of a search for H → ττ decays are presented

  based on the full set of proton-proton collision data recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC during 2011 and 2012. The data correspond to integrated luminosities of 4.5 fb−1 and 20.3 fb−1 at centre-of-mass energies of s√=7 TeV and s√=8 TeV respectively. All combinations of leptonic ( τ→ℓνν¯¯¯ with ℓ = e

  μ) and hadronic (τ → hadrons ν) tau decays are considered. An excess of events over the expected background from other Standard Model processes is found with an observed (expected) significance of 4.5 (3.4) standard deviations.

  This paper presents a new method of reconstructing the individual charged and neutral hadrons in tau decays with the ATLAS detector. The reconstructed hadrons are used to classify the decay mode and to calculate the visible four-momentum of reconstructed tau candidates

  significantly improving the resolution with respect to the calibration in the existing tau reconstruction.

  identification and energy calibration algorithms for hadronic decays of tau leptons employed for the data collected from pp collisions in 2012 with the ATLAS detector at the LHC center-of-mass energy s√=8 TeV . The performance of these algorithms is measured in most cases with Z decays to tau leptons using the full 2012 dataset

  corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb −1 .

  The ATLAS detector as installed in its experimental cavern at point 1 at CERN is described in this paper. A brief overview of the expected performance of the detector when the Large Hadron Collider begins operation is also presented.
