Exotics searches at ATLAS

Many theories beyond the Standard Model (SM) have been proposed to address several SM shortcomings, such as explaining why the Higgs boson is so light, the origin of neutrino masses , or the observed pattern of masses and mixing angles in the quark and lepton sectors. These beyond-the-SM extensions predict new particles or interactions directly accessible at the LHC . These proceedings will highlight recent searches based on the full Run 2 data collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC with a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV.
