Search for high mass dilepton resonances in pp collisions at √s=7 TeV with the ATLAS experiment

This Letter presents a search for high mass e + e - or μ + μ - resonances in pp collisions at √s=7 TeV at the LHC. The data were recorded by the ATLAS experiment during 2010 and correspond to a total integrated luminosity of ~40 pb-1. No statistically significant excess above the Standard Model expe...
