These events, produced at the LHC in proton-proton collisions at root s = 7 TeV, were recorded by the ATLAS detector. The data sample, collected throughout 2011, corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 4.9 and 5.0 fb(-1) in the e(+)e(-) and mu(+)mu(-) channels, respectively. No significant deviations from the Standard Model expectation are observed. Using a Bayesian approach, 95{\%} confidence level lower limits ranging from 9.0 to 13.9 TeV are placed on the energy scale of llqq contact interactions in the left-left isoscalar model. Lower limits ranging from 2.4 to 3.9 TeV are also set on the string scale in large extra dimension models. After combining these limits with results from a similar search in the diphoton channel, slightly more stringent limits are obtained.", optnote="WOS:000313160300006", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=1306), last updated on Thu, 07 Feb 2013 14:44:38 +0000", issn="1550-7998", doi="10.1103/PhysRevD.87.015010", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/arXiv:1211.1150", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.87.015010", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="arXiv:1211.1150", language="English" }
