Description
Scouting data is very useful to perform searches, for new physics beyond the standard model, in regions where the nominal triggers have reduced or zero sensitivity. In this context we shall discuss some of the interesting results obtained recently by the CMS experiment at the LHC. We shall first present the analysis to search for prompt dark-photons in the dimuon channel utilizing the dimuon scouting data for low mass region. We shall focuss next on the issue of lepton flavour violation, a promising avenue to look for new physics, in terms of a high mass resonance decaying in the lepton flavour violating mode. We shall also present the results for high mass Wprime search where it decays to 3rd generation lepton; this is particularly interesting in the context of non-universal gauge interaction models. Finally, we shall discuss some of the possible future searches with the unconventional signatures in the upcoming operations of the LHC.
