Inclusive search for same-sign dilepton signatures in pp collisions at 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 $$ \sqrt {s} = 7 $$ 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 …
