Two analyses of collision data from the ATLAS experiment at the LHC are presented, as well as two phenomenological studies of heavy coloured resonances that could be produced at the LHC. The first data analysis was the measurement of top quark-antiquark production with a veto on additional jet activity. As the first detector-corrected measurement of jet activity in top-antitop events it played an important role in constraining the theoretical modelling, and ultimately reduced these uncertainties for ATLAS's other top-quark measurements by a factor of two. The second data analysis was the measurement of Z+2jet production and the observation of the electroweak vector boson fusion (VBF) component. As the first observation of VBF at a hadron collider, this measurement demonstrated new techniques to reliably extract VBF processes and paved the way for future VBF Higgs measurements. The first phenomenological study developed a new technique for identifying the colour of heavy resonances produced in proton-proton collisions. As a by-product of this study an unexpected and previously unnoticed correlation was discovered between the probability of correctly identifying a high-energy top and the colour structure of the event it was produced in. The second phenomenological study explored this relationship in more detail, and could have important consequences for the identification of new particles that decay to top quarks. 000727710 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (viewed June 17, 2015). 000727710 650_0 $$aQuantum chromodynamics. 000727710 650_0 $$aQuark-gluon plasma. 000727710 650_0 $$aJets (Nuclear physics) 000727710 7102_ $$aAcademy of Transdisciplinary Learning & Advanced Studies. 000727710 830_0 $$aSpringer theses. 000727710 852__ $$bebk 000727710 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-19653-4$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000727710 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:727710$$pGLOBAL_SET 000727710 980__ $$aEBOOK 000727710 980__ $$aBIB 000727710 982__ $$aEbook 000727710 983__ $$aOnline 000727710 994__ $$a92$$bISE
