The ATLAS Exotics programme: How we are organising the search for new physics for Run 3 and beyond

by Louie Dartmoor Corpe

Tuesday Apr 28, 2026, 12:00 PM → 2:00 PM Europe/Madrid

C7b/058 - Seminar (IFAE Main Building C7b)

In this talk, I will give an overview of the thinking and planning behind the search for new physics in ATLAS for the rest of the LHC lifetime.
In particular, with the end of LHC exploitation on the horizon, how should we best use our limited time and resources to maximise our objectives? And what are our objectives in the first place?
I will divide the search programme into two categories (the "flagship" programme and the "speculative" programme) and give examples of each.  I will lay out how, in ATLAS, we plan to make best use of new analysis techniques, new detectors, and the expertise of our community. Finally, I will comment on how we need to ensure our searches are re-exploitable in the long term, noting the challenges ahead of us and some tentative solutions.
