Contact Interactions at the LHC

Abstract

Contact interactions offer a general framework for describing a new interaction with a scale above the energy scale probed. These interactions can occur if the Standard Model particles are composite or if new heavy particles are exchanged. The discovery potential of contact interactions at the LHC in dimuon and dijet final states at startup and the asymptotic reach are presented.
