Searches for Exotic physics beyond the Standard Model with the ATLAS detector

An overview of Exotic physics searches with the ATLAS detector is given in this presentation, highlighting selected LHC Run 1 results as well as first Run 2 results (if available). The Standard Model of particle physics is thought to be “completed” with the discovery of the Higgs boson, though many yet to be answered questions remain, such as dark matter, baryon asymmetry of the Universe, neutrino masses, quark/lepton generations, etc. New physics scenarios addressing these questions predict new particles/phenomena in a wide range of topologies/final states, motivating us to develop signature-based search strategy. This talk will summarize ATLAS results on Exotic physics searches and future prospects at the LHC.
