Description
The Standard Model of particle physics leaves several open questions in modern physics unanswered. For example, the Standard Model can explain neither Dark Matter nor the matter-antimatter-asymmetry in the universe. With their searches for hitherto unobserved phenomena the LHC experiments aim to address these and other questions. Over the past years I have focused on searches for physics beyond the Standard Model with the ATLAS experiment. This talk will present an overview of these activities. It will include a search for Dark Matter, its interpretation in different theoretical frameworks and how limits can be compared with non-collider results via effective field theories. A search for Leptoquarks is also described as is a study on the complementarity of the LHC and non-collider means of looking for baryon number violation.
