Searches for new phenomena in leptonic final states with the ATLAS and CMS detectors

Many particles predicted by theories beyond the Standard Model, including for example new heavy vector bosons, decay into final states which contain high-pt leptons and possibly other objects such as missing transverse energy or jets. Searches for new physics models with these signatures are performed using the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. The talk will focus on the most recent results using 13 TeV pp collision data.
