Please give a brief summary of your poster

The discovery potential of the ATLAS detector at the LHC for a neutral SM
Higgs boson decaying to purely leptonic final states, that is H-> ZZ(*)->
4 leptons (electrons or muons), is presented. The signal is characterized
by the presence of isolated leptons associated to the main pp interaction
vertex in the events, and constitutes the most promising channel for SM
Higgs discovery in the mass region 130<mH<700 GeV at LHC. Analysis
techniques for the signal reconstruction and for the background rejection
are discussed
