Characterisation and mitigation of beam-induced backgrounds observed in the ATLAS detector during the 2011 proton-proton run
I am one of the four main authors ("ATLAS editors") who wrote this paper. My main contribution was to study LHC beam backgrounds with the ATLAS Pixel Detector. I developed the beam background pixel-based tagging algorithm, performed the data analysis, produced the plots and I wrote the chapter on pixel beam backgrounds in this paper. I have also collaborated on the other studies on 2011 data and simulations in this paper, as a member of the working group on ATLAS non-collision backgrounds since 2010 (and I was a main editor of the referenced earlier conference note on 2010 data).
