Contribution
It summarizes diverse recent searches for new physics at CMS and introduces a model-agnostic anomaly detection approach.
Findings
No significant signs of new physics were observed.
The paper discusses CMS's future Run 3 strategies.
Summarizes results on exotic particles and heavy neutral leptons.
Abstract
A review of recent results from searches for new physics is presented. The analyses exploit data sets collected by the CMS experiment during Run 2 of the CERN LHC. Searches for exotic particles decaying into two bosons and for heavy neutral leptons, as well as a model-agnostic search based on anomaly detection are summarised. No significant sign for the presence of new physics was found. Prospects for the CMS parking strategy during Run 3 are also discussed.
