Searches for New Phenomena at the LHC

Abstract

Searches for physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) with the CMS and ATLAS experiments in pp collisions at a centre of mass energy of sqrt(s)=7 TeV at the LHC are presented. The discussed results are based on data taken in 2011, making use of integrated luminosities between L=1.1 and 4.9 inv. fb. Various important theories, encompassing TeV scale gravity, quark/lepton compositeness, contact interactions, new heavy vector bosons and other exotic signatures are probed.
