description This thesis outlines developments towards a new analysis and search technique for heavy resonances in angular distributions of photon+jet final states for the 2012 data set from the ATLAS detector on the LHC. In particular, a new angular variable tailored to the photon+jet channel was defined which distinguishes between background and expected signals, the corresponding angular observable sensitivity was optimized using ATLAS excited quark samples and JetPhox MC samples, and an optimal mass binning scheme was derived from the measured mass resolution. Ongoing work is being done to publish the analysis.
