Measurement of $Z$-boson production cross sections at √s = 13 TeV and $t\bar{t}$ to $Z$-boson cross-section ratios with the ATLAS detector at the LHC [DESY-THESIS-2018-004] Hamburg : Verlag Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron, DESY-THESIS, 196 pp. (2018) [10.3204/PUBDB-2018-01266] = Dissertation, Universität Hamburg, 2018   The measurement of $Z$-boson production cross sections in $pp$ collisions at centre-of-mass energy of √s = 13 TeV is presented. Results are based on data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.16 fb$^{-1}$ recorded with the ATLAS detector in 2015 at the LHC operating with the 25 ns bunch spacing configuration.

This new technique allows for improved meas-urements of electron and photon energies, particularly in situations where an electron radiatesa bremsstrahlung photon, or a photon converts to an electron-positron pair.

Measurements of top-quark properties at 8 TeV using the ATLAS detector at the LHC 229 pp. (2017) [10.3204/PUBDB-2018-00689] = Dissertation, Bergische Universität Wuppertal, 2017   This work presents the measurements of the charge asymmetry and top quark spin observables in ttbar events based on 20.3 fb$^{-1}$ of $\sqrt{s}$ = 8 TeV proton--proton collisions recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. These analyses are performed in the dilepton final state, characterized by the presence of two isolated leptons (electrons or muons).

These final states provide sensitivity to the heavy-flavour content of the proton and aspects related to the modelling of heavy-flavour quarks in perturbative QCD.

The new inner tracker will have to handle a significant increase in luminosity while maintaining a sufficient signal-to-noise ratio and pulse shaping times.

The ATLAS collaboration has carried out a range of measurements related with two-photon interactions at high energies using recently recorded Pb+Pb collision data taken at sNN=5.02 TeV ..

The heavy-quark matching scale $μ_m$ determines at which energy scale $μ$ the QCD theory transitions from NF to $N_{F}+1$ in the variable flavor number scheme (VFNS) for the evolution of the parton distribution functions (PDFs) and strong coupling $\alpha_{S}(μ)$.

The instruments use pairs of ultrasonic transducers transmitting sound bursts and measuring transit times in opposite directions. [...] Restricted: PDF PDF (PDFA);
