Wednesday 5 February 2014 Speaker: Dr Manny Olaiya (RAL/PPD) Title: "Search for Exotic BSM Physics with the CMS Detector" Abstract: The CMS experiment successfully collected roughly 20 1/fb of data taken at a LHC center of mass energy of 8 TeV during 2012. This data has been the focus of lots of beyond the standard model analyses. I will present a selection of beyond the standard model results from the CMS collaboration including searches for heavy gauge bosons, gravitons, dark matter and vector-like quarks.
