abstract
This paper reports a measurement of the W+b-jets production cross-section in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV at the LHC. These results are based on data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.6 fb-1, collected with the ATLAS detector. Cross-sections are presented as a function of jet multiplicity and of the transverse momentum of the leading b-jet for both the muon and electron decay modes of the W boson. The W+b-jets cross-section, corrected for all known detector effects, is quoted in a limited kinematic range, using jets reconstructed with the anti-k_t clustering algorithm with transverse momentum above 25 GeV and rapidity within +/- 2.1. Combining the muon and electron channels, the fiducial cross-section for W+b-jets is measured to be 7.1 +/- 0.5 (stat) +/- 1.4 (syst) pb, consistent with next-to-leading order QCD calculations within 1.5 standard deviations.

No significant excess observed in search for X → S(bb)H(γγ); 95% CL limits on σ×BR set from 9 fb to 0.06 fb over m_X 170-1000 GeV and m_S 15-500 GeV in 199 fb^{-1} of ATLAS data.
Updated ATLAS search for HH → bbγγ with 308 fb⁻¹ yields observed μ_HH = 0.9^{+1.4}_{-1.1}, 95% CL limit μ_HH < 3.7, and κ_λ in [-1.6, 6.6].
