This article presents the sensitivity of the ATLAS experiment to the lepton-flavour-violating decays of ????????3?. A method utilising the production of ? leptons via W→?? decays is used. This method is applied to the sample of 20.3 fb-1 of pp collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV collected by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC in 2012. Lastly, no event is observed passing the selection criteria, and the observed (expected) upper limit on the ? lepton branching fraction into three muons, Br(????????3?), is 3.76×10-7 (3.94×10-7 ) at 90 % confidence level.

This article presents the sensitivity of the ATLAS experiment to the lepton-flavour-violating decays of [tau]2![mu]. A method utilising the production of [tau] leptons via W2!tau][nu] decays is used. This method is applied to the sample of 20.3 fb-1 of pp collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV collected by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC in 2012. Lastly, no event is observed passing the selection criteria, and the observed (expected) upper limit on the [tau] lepton branching fraction into three muons, Br([tau]2![mu]), is 3.76×10-7 (3.94×10-7) at 90 % confidence level.

This thesis presents a search for long-lived particles decaying into displaced electrons and/or muons with large impact parameters. This signature provides unique sensitivity to the production of theoretical lepton-partners, sleptons. These particles are a feature of supersymmetric theories, which seek to address unanswered questions in nature. The signature searched for in this thesis is difficult to identify, and in fact, this is the first time it has been probed at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). It covers a long-standing gap in coverage of possible new physics signatures. This thesis describes the special reconstruction and identification algorithms used to select leptons with large impact parameters and the details of the background estimation. The results are consistent with background, so limits on slepton masses and lifetimes in this model are calculated at 95% CL, drastically improving on the previous best limits from the Large Electron Positron Collider (LEP).

Abstract: This Letter presents direct searches for lepton flavour violation in Higgs boson decays, and , performed with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The searches are based on a data sample of proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of . No significant excess is observed above the expected background from Standard Model processes. The observed (median expected) 95% confidence-level upper limits on the lepton-flavour-violating branching ratios are 0.47% () and 0.28% () for and , respectively
