Abstract
In order to search beyond the Standard Model of particle physics, and to study the Standard Model itself, a particle detector is needed. The ATLAS (A Toroidal LHC ApparatuS) detector is a large general-purpose particle detector which records the proton-proton collisions produced by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The analyses presented in this thesis utilise data which is recorded by the ATLAS detector.
