Description

The diphoton decay mode was the most sensitive mode for the discovery of the Higgs-like resonance in 2012. This mode remains very important in the post-discovery era, being sensitive to the existence of new physics. In this talk, I summarize the observation of the resonance in the diphoton channel by the ATLAS experiment using the full Run I dataset. I also describe the measurement of signal strengths and couplings in this channel in the gluon fusion, vector boson fusion and associated production modes.
