Antonio Castelli, promovendus aan het Nikhef, verdedigt zijn proefschrift 25 september 2015 aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam.
The thesis presents a measurement of the properties of the Higgs particle, performed by using the data collected by the ATLAS experiment in 2011 and 2012. The measurement is performed by using a three-dimensional model based on analytic functions to describe the signal produced by the Higgs boson decays. The model includes the information provided by the uncertainty measured event-by-event. A maximum likelihood fit is used to obtain an unbiased estimate of the mass, the signal strength and the decay amplitude of the Higgs particle.
De promotie vindt plaats op vrijdag 25 september 2015, om 11.00u bij de Universiteit van Amsterdam (Aula, Oude Lutherse Kerk, Singel 411, Amsterdam).
