The data are selected from events collected from pp collisions at root s = 7 TeV by the ATLAS detector and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 34 pb^-1. The spectra in dilepton invariant mass, missing transverse momentum and jet multiplicity are presented and compared to Standard Model predictions. In this event sample, no evidence is found for contributions beyond those of the Standard Model. Limits are set on the cross-section in a ducial region for new sources of same-sign high-mass dilepton events in the ee, emu and mumu channels. Four models predicting same-sign dilepton signals are constrained: two descriptions of Majorana neutrinos, a cascade topology similar to supersymmetry or universal extra dimensions, and fourth generation d-type quarks. Assuming a new physics scale of 1 TeV, Majorana neutrinos produced by an effective operator V with masses below 460 GeV are excluded at 95{\%} confidence level. A lower limit of 290 GeV is set at 95{\%} confidence level on the mass of fourth generation d-type quarks.", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=1059), last updated on Mon, 09 Jul 2012 14:34:17 +0000", issn="1126-6708", doi="10.1007/JHEP10(2011)107", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/1108.0366", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP10(2011)107", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="1108.0366", language="English" }
