Description

The high resolution of the diphoton decay mode for the Higgs-like resonance discovered in 2012 provides a useful tool for probing the properties of the new boson. I summarize the observation by the ATLAS experiment of the resonance in the Run 1 dataset, and present measurements of the spin. The compatibility of the observations with the standard model will be discussed.
