Title Measurement of the Inclusive Electron Cross-Section from Heavy-Flavour Decays and Search for Compressed Supersymmetric Scenarios with the ATLAS Experiment Author(s) Backes, Moritz Publication Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2014. Description XVI, 256 p. 111 illus., 54 illus. in color : online resource Abstract Note The first part of this thesis presents the measurement of the inclusive cross-section for electron production from heavy-flavour decays in the electron transverse momentum range 7 GeV < pT < 26 GeV using 1.3 pb???1 of 7 TeV proton-proton collision data collected by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider in 2010. The measured value of the cross-section within the fiducial range of the analysis is ??_e^HF = 0.946 ?? 0.020(stat.) ?? 0.146(syst.) ?? 0.032(lumi.) ??b. Theoretical predictions are in good agreement with the measurement. The second part of this thesis is a search for compressed supersymmetric scenarios in events with missing transverse energy, jets, and one isolated low-pT lepton in the final state using 4.7 fb-1 of ATLAS data collected at 7 TeV center-of-mass energy in 2011. No significant excess of events over the Standard Model expectation is observed and exclusion limits are derived for a number of supersymmetric models ISBN,Price 9783319071367 Keyword(s) 1. EBOOK 2.
