Search for New Physics Beyond the Standard Model in Dijet Events at the LHC

In 2012 the ATLAS and CMS collaborations have  published the discovery of the Higgs boson, the last missing piece in the building blocks of the Standard Model of Particle physics. Here we describe searches done at the  LHC proton-proton collisions to look for new physics  and extensions to the Standard Model, using events with at least two high transverse momentum jets. These searches are looking for deviation in the distribution of two jets invariant mass as well and the at the angular distribution of the two leading jets in the event. A novel method of analysing events before they are filtered out by the trigger mechanism is used to further enrich the sample analysed, extending significantly the sensitivity for new physics  in the very low invariant masses regime.
