Inclusive search for same-sign dilepton signatures in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector

An inclusive search is presented for new physics in events with two isolated leptons (e or μ) having the same electric charge. The data are selected from events collected from pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV by the ATLAS detector and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 34 pb-1. The spectra in dile...

The data are selected from events collected from pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV by the ATLAS detector and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 34 pb-1. The spectra in dilepton invariant mass, missing transverse momentum and jet multiplicity are presented and compared to Standard Model predictions. In this event sample, no evidence is found for contributions beyond those of the Standard Model. Limits are set on the cross-section in a fiducial region for new sources of same-sign high-mass dilepton events in the ee, eμ and μμ channels.

Assuming a new physics scale of 1 TeV, Majorana neutrinos produced by an effective operator V with masses below 460 GeV are excluded at 95% confidence level. A lower limit of 290 GeV is set at 95% confidence level on the mass of fourth generation d-type quarks.
