Description
We discuss the very first preliminary results of searches for various new physics phenomena with the early 7 TeV pp-collision LHC data with the CMS detector. While the sensitivity of these very early searches is yet to supersede current limits on these new physics phenomena, we demonstrate good understanding of the detector and backgrounds in a variety of channels, which is a fundamental component of successful searches. With more data being delivered by the machine the expected sensitivity of these searches should exceed the current limits before the end of 2010.
