Search for Leptoquarks, Excited Leptons and Technicolor at the LHC

Abstract

The ATLAS and CMS experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will soon search for physics phenomena that are not predicted by the Standard Model. Technicolor, Compositeness and GUT-based models are rich in high-pt leptons and could be studied in such final states. This contribution shows studies that indicate that a 5sigma discovery of a 500 GeV leptoquark could occur with 100 pb^-1 of integrated luminosity, Technicolor predicted particles could be seen with 4 fb^-1 of integrated luminosity and, excited electron could be detected with 300 fb^-1 of integrated luminosity.
