Workhop on Recent Developments in High Energy Physics and Cosmology, Athens, April 2003 Th. Lagouri, A.U.Th. The initial experiment conditions Results presented here refer to the nominal detector configuration and L= 1x10 33 cm -2 s -1 [CERN ] ; The analysis with the initial detector layout (including the change of the B-layer radial position, re-evaluation of the material distribution in the ID) as a function of luminosity and the trigger conditions is on-going (within the Data Challenge project); preliminary results about the physics performance at Initial conditions will be presented.

The ATLAS Physics Programme 1.The most prominent issues for the LHC are the quest for the origin of the spontaneous symmetry-breaking mechanism (SM and MSSM) and the search for new physics: SuSy, Heavy Bosons, etc… 2.ATLAS (and CMS) is a general-purpose experiment optimized to maximize the potential discovery new physics: Higgs boson(s), SuSy particles, W’ and Z’, etc… 3.However we have to consider that: –The LHC is a beauty factory  dedicated B- experiment (LHCb); –The ATLAS detector allows also a wide programme of B-physics studies, competitive with LHCb in some channels;

Rare decays with dimuons The decays B 0 s   +   and B 0 d   +   have very small BR but they can be selected by the atlas trigger even at the nominal LHC luminosity. With 130 fb  of data the reaction B 0 s   +   can be seen with 4.7  assuming the S.M. BR of  9.

Initial detector configuration However the main effect to the B-physics performance wrt to the Yellow Book results comes from the change of the B-layer radial position (from 4.30 cm to 5.05 cm) and from the material in and before that layer (increased thickness of the beam pipe and pixel services); preliminary estimations with DC1 data analysis: –Impact parameter resolution and proper time resolution degraded by about 30%; –Mass resolutions degraded by about 15%; –Reconstruction efficiencies: no important degradation found;
