This thesis describes the stand-alone discovery and measurement of
the Higgs boson in its decays to two W bosons using the Run-I ATLAS
dataset. This is the most precise measurement of gluon-fusion Higgs
boson production and is among the most significant results attained
at the LHC. The thesis provides an exceptionally clear exposition
on a complicated analysis performed by a large team of researchers.
Aspects of the analysis performed by the author are explained in
detail; these include new methods for evaluating uncertainties on
the jet binning used in the analysis and for estimating the
background due to associated production of a W boson and an
off-shell photon. The thesis also describes a measurement of the WW
cross section, an essential background to Higgs boson production.
The primary motivation of the LHC was to prove or disprove the
existence of the Higgs boson. In 2012, CERN announced this
discovery and the resultant ATLAS publication contained three decay
channels: gg, ZZ, and WW.
