Exotics Searches at ATLAS
  While the Standard Model of particle physics is a very successful theory and has been tested to hold with great precision in numerous experiments, it still leaves a number of open questions. Among those are the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe, the hierarchy problem and dark matter. Many models for new physics beyond the Standard Model provide solutions to one or several of these shortcomings of the Standard Model. In this article, a selected subset of recent ATLAS results from searches for such models is high-lighted, with a special focus on searches for Dark Matter.
