This event is part of the HEE Seminar Series.

A review of the discovery potential of the LHC for exotic phenomena involving complex final states is presented. Topics covered include searches for high mass di-boson resonances, exotic top quark partners, black holes etc. Challenges presented by unconventional final states involving long-lived particles predicted by hidden valley and other models are discussed. Lessons learned from the Tevatron experience with long-lived particle searches are also presented.
