Searches for high mass dilepton resonances in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV with the ATLAS Experiment

The ATLAS detector has been used to search for high mass ee or mumu resonances, such as new heavy neutral gauge bosons. Over 1 fb^{−1} of proton-proton collisions at s = 7 TeV recorded by the ATLAS experiment are used to search for a high mass state decaying to dilepton pairs. No excess over Standard Model expectations is observed, and limits are placed on benchmark models predicting spin-1 and spin-2 resonances.
