A search for the Standard Model Higgs boson in proton-proton collisions with the ATLAS detector at the LHC is presented. The datasets used correspond to integrated luminosities of approximately 4.8 fb^-1 collected at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV in 2011 and 5.8 fb^-1 at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV in 2012. Individual searches in the channels H->ZZ^(*)->llll, H->gamma gamma and H->WW->e nu mu nu in the 8 TeV data are combined with previously published results of searches for H->ZZ^(*), WW^(*), bbbar and tau^+tau^- in the 7 TeV data and results from improved analyses of the H->ZZ^(*)->llll and H->gamma gamma channels in the 7 TeV data. Clear evidence for the production of a neutral boson with a measured mass of 126.0 +/- 0.4(stat) +/- 0.4(sys) GeV is presented. This observation, which has a significance of 5.9 standard deviations, corresponding to a background fluctuation probability of 1.7x10^-9, is compatible with the production and decay of the Standard Model Higgs boson.

- Higgs inflation at the critical point (2014, neutral): “Accounting for those, the value of Mcrit is about 2 standard deviations from the mass of the Higgs boson observed experimentally at CERN [21, 22].”
- Evidence for the spin-0 nature of the Higgs boson using ATLAS data (2013, neutral): “Introduction In 2012 the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations published the dis covery of a new resonance [1,2] in the search for the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson H [3-8].”
- Flavor structures of charged fermions and massive neutrinos (2019, neutral): “All in all, the discovery of the long-expected Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2012 [158, 159] implies that the Yukawa interactions do exist and should be responsible for the mass generation of charged leptons and quarks within the SM.”
- Search for Heavy Right Handed Neutrinos at the FCC-ee (2014, neutral): “Following the discovery of the Higgs Boson [1, 2], there has been growing interest in high-luminosity e+e− colliders aimed at the detailed study of this particle of a new nature, especially since they could be followed by a high-energy pp collider in the same tunnel [3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8].”
