- This paper reports a combined ATLAS and CMS measurement of the decay rates and couplings of the Higgs boson using early LHC data. Nikolopoulos made major intellectual contributions, particularly in the H->ZZ->4l channel in ATLAS, one of the major ingredients of this publication. These include direct contributions to lepton isolation characterisation software, event selection, background suppression and fitting code and a two year period as the corresponding working group convener. He also coordinated the input preparation for the fits in the H->ZZ->4l channel and supervised a PhD student performing fits and statistical interpretation for the combined results.
