Abstract: Leptoquarks are hypothetical particles that carry both lepton and baryon number and are proposed to exist in a number of extensions to the standard model. This work presents a search for first generation Leptoquarks at the ATLAS detector. The search is for pair production of
leptoquarks in which one would decay into a lepton/quark pair, and the other into a neutrino/quark pair...

Abstract
We present the results of a search for pair production of first-generation
scalar leptoquarks (LQ) in the final state arising from LQLQ -> eqeq using
1.1 pb^{-1} of pp collisions at sqrt{s} = 7 TeV collected with the CMS
detector at the CERN LHC. The number of observed events is in good
agreement with the predictions for standard model background processes,
and we...

Abstract
We present the commissioning of photon reconstruction and identification
using 7 TeV collision data at CMS. The photon observables are measured and
compared to Monte Carlo simulation. Two analyses searching for extra
dimensions in the diphoton final state, large extra dimensions and wrapped
extra dimensions searches, are also discussed.

Abstract: In this talk we show the projections for the Higgs boson search with the ATLAS detector at the LHC, assuming an integrated luminosity of 1 fb-1 which is expected to be reached by the end of 2011. Particular emphasis is given to ongoing studies of the Standard Model W and Z
boson production, in view of understanding some of the most important background processes in search for the...

Abstract: We describe the potential for discovering Supersymmetry (SUSY) using the ATLAS detector in the multi-jet and multi-lepton channels with associated missing transverse energy. A study of ATLAS sensitivity based on LHC data for typical signatures of R-Parity conserved SUSY
models is presented. The possibilities of using kinematic variables in place of reconstructed missing transverse...

Abstract
We present a study of setting limits on anomalous trilinear gauge couplings
in Z + gamma events containing a vector boson and a photon.
