• When will new physics show up?• What will it look like? • Will our triggers and analyses be sensitive to it?
We need to think beyond established theories

•Pairs of hard, isolated leptons and photons are powerful tools to hunt new physics.
•The SM backgroundsare small and well understood.
•The results are *BR, which can be interpreted in a variety of ways by different models (some of which haven’t been published yet!)

SummarySummary Tevatron luminosity is ramping up.
4 fb-1 promised by 2009. Exciting physics possible. Translating detector understanding to physics.
Objects like e, , ET, jets, (b) are now reconstructed w/ excellent efficiency, purity. We use these to search for V’, Technicolor, LQ, excited fermions, extra dim...
Going to get even better: More luminosity, better understanding. Now, limits ~50 - 100 fb (leptons, photons). Soon, ~10 fb!
We think outside the box. Hunt for new objects like CHAMPS, monopoles… Could use help from theorists here.
We hope to see new physics soon. We are sick and tired of making exclusion plots!
