Abstract

The ATLAS and CMS experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will soon search for physics phenomena that are not predicted by the Standard Model. Technicolor, Compositeness and GUT-based models are rich in high-pt leptons and could be studied in such final states. This contribution shows studies that indicate that a 5sigma discovery of a 500 GeV leptoquark could occur with 100 pb^-1 of integrated luminosity, Technicolor predicted particles could be seen with 4 fb^-1 of integrated luminosity and, excited electron could be detected with 300 fb^-1 of integrated luminosity.
