Description

We propose a systematic way of searching for new physics at colliders that compliments existing strategies. Starting from a given final state topology we survey the possible resonance structures that lead to such a final state. As a case study we examine the *lljj* final state and propose analysis techniques and give sensitivity estimates for the $\sqrt{s}=14\ TeV$ and $\mathcal{L}= 300\ fb^{-1}$ LHC run.
