| Abstract: | Events with three energetic, isolated leptons are a very striking experimental signature predicted by many theoretical extensions to the Standard Model. In 2012, the ATLAS experiment collected a large dataset corresponding to 20 fb-1 of integrated luminosity at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV. This dataset provides an opportunity to search for the existence of new physics at kinematic regimes which have never been probed before. I will present the results of a recent search for the anomalous production of such multilepton events at the ATLAS experiment. This analysis uses a model-independent, signature-based search strategy in an effort to remain sensitive to a wide range of new physics processes. In particular, I will highlight the format used to present the final results, which was designed specifically to facilitate potential recasts by the theory community, and the inclusion of tau leptons in the search, along with the associated experimental challenges. |
