An overview of recent searches for exotic signatures using the ATLAS detector at the LHC is given. The results presented use data collected at center-of-mass energies of $sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV and $sqrt{s}$ = 8 TeV, for datasets corresponding to a variety of integrated luminosities. Resonance searches using leptons, photons, missing transverse energy, and jets are performed, as well as searches requiring custom jet and track reconstruction. No deviations from Standard Model expectations are observed.
Recent results of searches for supersymmetry by the ATLAS collaboration in up to 2 fb-1 of sqrt(s) = 7 TeV pp collisions at the LHC are reported.
One of the most intriguing puzzles in hadron spectroscopy are the numerous charmonium-like states observed in the last decade, including charged states that are manifestly exotic. The $BABAR$ experiment has extensively studied those in B meson decays, initial state radiation processes and two photon reactions. The study of the process $B rightarrow J/psi phi K$, with a search for the resonant states X(4140) and X(4270) in their decays to $J/psi phi$, will be highlighted. The recent results of the Dalitz analysis of $eta_c$ to 3 pseudoscalar mesons, via 2-photon interactions, will be presented in this report
We report on the potential for the discovery of a Standard Model Higgs boson with the vector boson fusion mechanism in the mass range $115<M_H<500 gev/$c$^2$ with the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. Feasibility studies at hadron level followed by a fast detector simulation have been performed for $Hto W^{(*)}W^{(*)}to l^+l^-sla{p_T}$, $Htogammagamma$ and $Hto ZZto l^+l^-qbar{q}$. The preliminary results obtained here show a large discovery potential in the range $115<M_H<300 gev/$c$^2$. Results obtained with multivariate techniques are reported for a number of channels.
Supersymmetry (SUSY) is one of the most relevant scenarios of new physics searched by the ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. In this writeup the principal search strategies employed by ATLAS are outlined and the most recent results for analyses targeting SUSY discovery are discussed. A wide range of signatures is covered motivated by various theoretical scenarios and topologies: strong production, third-generation fermions, long-lived particles and R-parity violation, among others. The results are based on up to ~5 fb-1 of data recorded during 2010-2011 at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV centre-of-mass energy by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC.
The search for multi-quark states beyond the constituent quark model (CQM) has resulted in the discovery of many new exotic states, starting with the observation of the X(3872), discovered by Belle in 2003. Also in the sector of charm-strange physics the CQM does not seem to describe properly all spectrum, despite of theoretical expectations. These new forms of quark bounds clearly show that mesons and baryons are not the only possibilities to be considered. We shortly report in this paper selected recent results on searching for such states at Belle, with the perspectives in the hadron physics program at the Belle II experiment.
