    The performance of the jet trigger for the ATLAS detector at the LHC during the 2011 data taking period is described. During 2011 the LHC provided proton–proton collisions with a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV and heavy ion collisions with a 2.76 TeV per nucleon–nucleon collision energy. The ATLAS trigger is a three level system designed to reduce the rate of events from the 40 MHz nominal maximum bunch crossing rate to the approximate 400 Hz which can be written to offline storage. The ATLAS jet trigger is the primary means for the online selection of events containing jets. Events are accepted by the trigger if they contain one or more jets above some transverse energy threshold. During 2011 data taking the jet trigger was fully efficient for jets with transverse energy above 25 GeV for triggers seeded randomly at Level 1. For triggers which require a jet to be identified at each of the three trigger levels, full efficiency is reached for offline jets with transverse energy above 60 GeV. Jets reconstructed in the final trigger level and corresponding to offline jets with transverse energy greater than 60 GeV, are reconstructed with a resolution in transverse energy with respect to offline jets, of better than 4 % in the central region and better than 2.5 % in the forward direction

    MĂ©todos automĂĄticos de localização de pontos homĂłlogos em imagens digitais baseados em ĂĄrea, combinados com tĂ©cnicas de crescimento de regiĂŁo, sĂŁo capazes de produzir uma malha densa e exata de pontos homĂłlogos. Entretanto, o processo de crescimento de regiĂŁo pode ser interrompido em regiĂ”es da imagem, cuja paralaxe no eixo horizontal apresenta variação abrupta. Essa situação geralmente Ă© causada por uma descontinuidade na superfĂ­cie ou espaço-objeto imageado, tal como um prĂ©dio numa cena urbana ou um paredĂŁo de exploração de uma mina a cĂ©u aberto. Nesses casos, novos pares de pontos homĂłlogos (sementes) devem ser introduzidos, normalmente por um operador humano, a partir dos quais o processo Ă© reiniciado. Dependendo do tipo da imagem utilizada e da estrutura 3D da regiĂŁo mapeada, a intervenção humana pode ser considerĂĄvel. Uma alternativa totalmente automatizada em que se combinam as tĂ©cnicas SIFT (Scale Invariant Feature Transform), pareamento por mĂ­nimos quadrados e crescimento de regiĂŁo foi proposta anteriormente pelos autores. O presente trabalho apresenta uma extensĂŁo a essa tĂ©cnica. Basicamente, propĂ”em-se alteraçÔes na etapa de correspondĂȘncia do SIFT, que exploram caracterĂ­sticas de estereogramas produzidos por sensores aĂ©reos e orbitais. AvaliaçÔes experimentais demonstram que as modificaçÔes propostas trazem dois tipos de benefĂ­cios. Em primeiro lugar, obtĂ©m-se um aumento do nĂșmero de pontos homĂłlogos encontrados, sem aumento correspondente na proporção de falsas correspondĂȘncias. Em segundo lugar, a carga computacional Ă© reduzida substancialmente

    Constraints on spin-0 dark matter mediators and invisible Higgs decays using ATLAS 13 TeV pp collision data with two top quarks and missing transverse momentum in the final state

    This paper presents a statistical combination of searches targeting final states with two top quarks and invisible particles, characterised by the presence of zero, one or two leptons, at least one jet originating from a b-quark and missing transverse momentum. The analyses are searches for phenomena beyond the Standard Model consistent with the direct production of dark matter in pp collisions at the LHC, using 139 fb−1 of data collected with the ATLAS detector at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The results are interpreted in terms of simplified dark matter models with a spin-0 scalar or pseudoscalar mediator particle. In addition, the results are interpreted in terms of upper limits on the Higgs boson invisible branching ratio, where the Higgs boson is produced according to the Standard Model in association with a pair of top quarks. For scalar (pseudoscalar) dark matter models, with all couplings set to unity, the statistical combination extends the mass range excluded by the best of the individual channels by 50 (25) GeV, excluding mediator masses up to 370 GeV. In addition, the statistical combination improves the expected coupling exclusion reach by 14% (24%), assuming a scalar (pseudoscalar) mediator mass of 10 GeV. An upper limit on the Higgs boson invisible branching ratio of 0.38 (0.30+0.13−0.09) is observed (expected) at 95% confidence level
