Final states containing both leptons and jets can be used to probe for physics beyond the Standard Model. Searches for new physics models with these signatures, such as heavy neutrinos or leptoquarks, for example, are performed using the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. The results of the most recent searches on 13 TeV [Formula: see text] data will be presented.

Many theories beyond the Standard Model predict new phenomena accessible by the Lhc. Searches for new physics are performed using the Atlas experiment at the Lhc focusing on exotic signatures that are predicted in several theories, excluding supersymmetry. The results of recent searches using 13 TeV data, with the exception of those for Dark Matter signatures, and their interplay and interpretation are presented. Prospects for searches at the High Luminosity Lhc are also discussed.

We present a quasi-model-independent search for physics beyond the standard model. We define final states to be studied, and construct a rule that identifies a set of variables appropriate for any particular final state. A new algorithm ("Sleuth") searches for regions of excess in the space of those variables and quantifies the significance of any detected excess. After demonstrating the sensititvity of the method, we apply it to the semi-inclusive channel eμX collected in ≈108 pb -1 of [Formula: see text] collisions at [Formula: see text] at the DØ experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron. We find no evidence of new high pT physics in this sample.

Jet observables have been exploited extensively during the LHC Run 1 to search for physics beyond the Standard Model. In this article, the most recent results from the ATLAS and CMS collaborations are summarized. Data from proton–proton collisions at 7 and 8 TeV center-of-mass energy have been analyzed to study monojet, dijet, and multijet final states, searching for a variety of new physics signals that include colored resonances, contact interactions, extra dimensions, and supersymmetric particles. The exhaustive searches with jets in Run 1 did not reveal any signal, and the results were used to put stringent exclusion limits on the new physics models.

In this paper, we present the MadAnalysis 5 implementation of the CMS-EXO-19-002 analysis, probing an excess of events featuring multiple charged leptons in LHC proton–proton collisions at [Formula: see text]. The original analysis is based on data acquired by the CMS detector during the 2016–2018 campaign, which corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 137 fb[Formula: see text]. Data have been tested against hypothetical extensions of the Standard Model where additional leptons can stem from new heavy fermion decays or from new light scalar/pseudoscalar decays. The CMS selection has been fully implemented in the MadAnalysis 5 platform and successfully validated by reproducing official results in the form of signal distributions at the end of the selection.

Despite the absence of experimental evidence, the weak scale supersymmetry remains as one of the best motivated and studied theoretical models beyond the Standard Model. This article summarises recent ATLAS results on inclusive searches for squarks and gluinos in R-parity conserving SUSY scenarios, including third generation squarks produced in the decay of gluinos. The searches involve final states containing jets, missing transverse momentum with and without a light lepton. No significance excess above the Standard Model prediction is observed and exclusion limits are set on 2-dimensional mass planes of benchmark signal models.

The Standard Model predicts several rare Higgs boson decays, which have not yet been observed, but that could be enhanced in theories beyond the Standard Model. Among these are decays to light leptons, e.g. [Formula: see text]. In addition, theories beyond the Standard Model may predict lepton-flavor violating decays of the Higgs boson. Results for these searches based on LHC [Formula: see text] collision data recorded at 13 TeV by the ATLAS experiment will be presented.
