Description
Many new physics scenarios beyond the Standard Model predict
the presence of narrow or broad resonances decaying to a pair of
fermions (light and heavy quarks, charged leptons and neutrinos) or
bosons (gammagamma, WW, WZ, ZZ and HH). The high-mass resonant
production of top-quark or vector boson pairs is also a good benchmark
process for boosted top and massive boson tagging. This talk
summarizes ATLAS searches for heavy resonances with LHC Run 1 data.
