Physics with Electrons in the ATLAS Detector

Nominated as an outstanding Ph.D. thesis by the ATLAS Collaboration, CERN, Geneva Winner of a 2016 ATLAS Thesis Award Presents two diboson measurements with the ATLAS experiment and compares with Standard Model predictions Focuses on methods used to identify electrons from massive boson decay
