Description
This presentation is a potpourri of Aachen results searching for BSM. One key search looks for excited leptons (e* and mu*) in the contact interaction channel providing the maximum sensitivity in terms of lstar mass. To put it in context, its sensitivity in terms of mass and compositeness scale Lambda is compared with the llg channel. We also search for new heavy charged boson, W', in the classical channels with
enu or munu in the final state providing the max mass reach. The decay to tau+nu is gaining interest from flavour observations similar to other searches with 3rd particles. Besides searches driven by specific models,
a model unspecific search is looking at all event classes to make sure we don't miss any sign of new physics.
