Search for non-SUSY new physics at CMS

This paper presents the results of searches for various non-SUSY new physics phenomena in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV delivered by the LHC and collected with the CMS detector in 2010. The results for new resonances with high-PT lepton, di-photon and multi-jet final state are especially discussed. While the sensitivity of these early searches varies, in many cases they set the most stringent limits on these new physics phenomena. These results demonstrate good understanding of the detector and backgrounds in a variety of channels, which is a fundamental component of successful searches in view of the much larger data sample.
