Observation of a new particle in the search for the Standard Model Higgs boson with the ATLAS detector at the LHC
Fox worked on setting the mass scale for the Higgs to four leptons decay using the J/Psi sample, and on the H->tautau channel in the fully hadronic final state. Alongside tau-muon trigger studies, he worked on improving the mass resolution resulting in higher sensitivity to the Higgs boson. With PDRA Grimm he worked on the Missing Mass Calculator for this channel and on the tau energy scale systematics and the electron & muon veto for the tau ID. With PDRA Bouhova-Thacker he worked on a di-vertex fitter for tau channels to utilise the tau lifetime and further improve mass resolutions.
