Search for heavy resonances with the ATLAS detector

The ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is used to search for heavy resonances in various final states. Recent results from different analyses of the proton-proton (pp) collisions recorded in 2012 at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20 fb-1 are presented. Various models are considered such as W' and Z' bosons, chiral bosons, excited quarks and technicolor, as well as a Randall-Sundrum graviton, the ADD large extra dimension scenario, (quantum) black holes and contact interactions.
