Searches for resonant and non-resonant new phenomena from ATLAS

Many new physics scenarios beyond the Standard Model predict the presence of narrow or broad resonances decaying to a pair of quarks/gluons, charged/neutral leptons, photons and their combinations, or a multi-jet final state. Non-resonant excess in tails of mass and transverse momentum distributions is another strong indication of new physics. This talk highlights recent ATLAS searches on new phenomena in di-jet, di-lepton, di-photon, leptons+jets, photon+jet, multi-jet, and di-boson final states using LHC Run 1 data. First LHC Run-2 results and/or prospects will be privileged, if available.
