Further investigations of ATLAS Sensitivity to Higgs Boson Production in different assumed LHC scenarios

Figure 1: The luminosity required, as a function of , to give a median exclusion significance of 95% CL for a SM Higgs at = 7 or 8 TeV. The shaded regions are the regions excluded by LEP [11], (yellow or lights) and the Tevatron [12] (brown or dark).

Figure 2: The expected level of significance as a function of for 5 or 10 fb^-1 of luminosity at = 7 or 8 TeV.

Figure 3: The luminosity required to give exclusion, evidence or discovery sensitivity for a SM Higgs with data at = 7 or 8 TeV.

Figure 4: The luminosity required to give exclusion, evidence or discovery sensitivity for a SM Higgs with data at = 8 TeV using the normal or optimized analysis. The latter was only run below 140 GeV.
