  abstract  = {This paper presents a search for the t-channel exchange of an R-parity violating scalar top quark ( \(\tilde{t}\) ) in the e\(^±\) μ\(^∓\) continuum using 2.1 fb\(^{-1}\) of data collected by the ATLAS detector in √s=7 TeV pp collisions at the Large Hadron Collider. Data are found to be consistent with the expectation from the Standard Model backgrounds. Limits on R-parity-violating couplings at 95 \% C.L. are calculated as a function of the scalar top mass (m\(_\tilde{t}\)). The upper limits on the production cross section for pp→eμX, through the t-channel exchange of a scalar top quark, ranges from 170 fb for m\(_\tilde{t}\)=95 GeV to 30 fb for m\(_\tilde{t}\)=1000 GeV.},

  abstract  = {This paper describes an analysis of the angular distribution of W→eν and W→μν decays, using data from pp collisions at s√=7 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC in 2010, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about 35 pb\(^{-1}\). Using the decay lepton transverse momentum and the missing transverse momentum, the W decay angular distribution projected onto the transverse plane is obtained and analysed in terms of helicity fractions f\(_0\), f\(_L\) and f\(_R\) over two ranges of W transverse momentum (p\(^W_T\)):35<p\(^W_T\)<50 GeV and p\(^W_T\)>50 GeV. Good agreement is found with theoretical predictions. For p\(^W_T\)>50 GeV, the values of f\(_0\) and f\(_L\)-f\(_R\), averaged over charge and lepton flavour, are measured to be: f\(_0\)=0.127±0.030±0.108 and f\(_L\)-f\(_R\)=0.252±0.017±0.030, where the first uncertainties are statistical, and the second include all systematic effects.},

  abstract  = {The measurement of missing transverse momentum in the ATLAS detector, described in this paper, makes use of the full event reconstruction and a calibration based on reconstructed physics objects. The performance of the missing transverse momentum reconstruction is evaluated using data collected in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV in 2010. Minimum bias events and events with jets of hadrons are used from data samples corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about 0.3 nb\(^{-1}\) and 600 nb\(^{-1}\) respectively, together with events containing a Z boson decaying to two leptons (electrons or muons) or a W boson decaying to a lepton (electron or muon) and a neutrino, from a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about 36 pb\(^{-1}\). An estimate of the systematic uncertainty on the missing transverse momentum scale is presented},

The inter-alignment of the inner detector and the electromagnetic calorimeter, the determination of the electron energy scale and resolution, and the performance in terms of response uniformity and linearity are discussed.
