Reading the LHC Data with Leptonic Spectacles

Abstract

LHC being a hadron machine final states withmulti-leptons are rare compared to multi-jet final states.In the standard model the events become more rare asthe lepton multiplicity increases in the final state. I showthat such final states turn out to be excellent probes fordiscovering new physics beyond the standard model. Ialso show how different kinematic properties of such leptonicfinal states can help in distinguishing different speculativeideas of new physics.
