Searches for new physics in events with multiple leptons at the ATLAS detector

Events containing three or more leptons are an invaluable probe for physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) at the LHC. This paper summarizes a generic search for final states with three or more leptons as well as direct searches for heavy seesaw neutrinos, excited leptons and WZ resonances. All sear...

Description
Summary:Events containing three or more leptons are an invaluable probe for physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) at the LHC. This paper summarizes a generic search for final states with three or more leptons as well as direct searches for heavy seesaw neutrinos, excited leptons and WZ resonances. All searches were conducted using the data recorded in 2012 in proton-proton collisions at √s = 8 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC.
