Searches for new physics using leptons and photons at CMS are presented. The latest results on Z' and W' resonances are shown in addition to the latest results on ADD extra dimensions.

In many models of physics beyond the Standard Model the coupling of new physics to third generation quarks is enhanced. We present a review of searches for heavy particles beyond the standard model decaying to final states with top and bottom quarks. This includes searches for heavy gauge bosons and excited states. Several final states originating from the top are considered and the event...

Precision data generally require the threshold for physics beyond the Standard Model to be at the deca-TeV (10 TeV) scale or higher. This raises the question of whether there are interesting deca-TeV models for which the LHC may find direct clues. A possible scenario for such physics is a 5D warped model of fermion masses and mixing, with Kaluza-Klein masses m_KK ~ 10 TeV, allowing it to avoid...

Theories with a warped extra dimension often encounter difficulties with corrections to the T parameter in absence of an extended symmetry including custodial isospin. Recent work on warped extra dimensional models known as soft-walls has shown that these models can control the S and T corrections without the need for custodial isospin. This talk will elaborate on why this is the case and...

Localisation of fermions in the bulk of an extra dimension are considered to be alternate to the Froggatt-Nielsen Models. We will consider a Randall -Sundrum Framework
close to the GUT scale, the typical scale of Froggatt-Neilsen Models. We fit all the
fermion masses at the high scale taking in to consideration the variation of $\mathcal{O}(1)$ entries. We do this exercise for both...

Lower-dimensionality at higher energies has manifold theoretical advantages. Moreover, it appears that experimental evidence may already exists for it - a statistically significant planar alignment of events with energies higher than TeV has been observed in some earlier cosmic ray experiments. If this alignment is not a fluke, then the LHC should be able to see effects associated with the...
