Description

I will discuss the untrendy 2 TeV excess in the ATLAS Run 1 hadronic diboson resonance search, pointing out its faint reappearance in three subsequent analyses. On a more general ground, I will discuss the weakness of the strategies used by ATLAS and CMS in this and other new physics searches, and propose a more robust approach to detect unconventional new physics.
