Abstract
During its run in the year 2012, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was operated at a center-of-mass energy of s=8 TeV. The CMS and ATLAS detectors both collected approximately 20 fb−1 of proton-proton collision data. This huge dataset collected at an unprecedented energy provides an ideal opportunity to search for new phenomena. The tau lepton is the heaviest of the known leptons and therefore provides a unique probe in the search for new physics models since many of these models couple more strongly to the third generation. In this paper, a selection of recent results from the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations with searches for new physics in the context of SUSY and Exotic decays involving the tau lepton will be presented. The signals for which these analyses were developed contain heavy resonances, SUSY decay chains as well as model-independent scans.
