Searches for new physics with leptons and jets at CMS

Understand

A variety of models of physics beyond the standard model predict new particles that decay to leptons, jets, or both together.

• These models include axigluons, colorons, diquarks, excited quarks, heavy long-lived charged particles, leptoquarks, Randall-Sundrum gravitons, string resonances, and new vector bosons (right-handed W and Z').
• Using the data collected in 2011 and 2012 at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, the CMS collaboration has performed searches for these new particles in channels with leptons and jets.
• The results of these searches will be presented.
