Description
Many theories beyond the Standard Model (BSM) have been proposed to address several
of the Standard Model shortcomings, such as the origin of dark matter and neutrino
masses, the fine-tuning of the Higgs Boson mass, or the observed pattern of masses
and mixing angles in the quark and lepton sectors. Many of these BSM extensions
predict new particles or interactions directly accessible at the LHC. This talk will
present some highlights on recent searches based on the the full Run 2 data
collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC with a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV.
These include searches for leptoquarks and vector-like quarks, new high mass
resonances and lepton flavour violating decays, as well as searches using
unconventional and long-lived particle signatures.
