New ATLAS Measurement of the Higgs Boson |
08 October 2014 |
The ATLAS collaboration has released the
final measurement of the Higgs boson coupling to W bosons using data from the
first run of the Large Hadron Collider. The newly optimized analysis studies the Higgs boson in two
production modes. |
