Search for heavy resonances with the ATLAS detector

Heavy resonances decaying into a pair of particles are an obvious place to look for phenomena beyond the Standard Model. This talk summarizes recent results on searches for resonances. Among the models considered are the Z' and W', the Randall-Sundrum gravitons as well as the ADD large extra dimension scenario and technicolor models. The talk presents results from searches for new physics in final states containing jets, leptons or two bosons using the data collected by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. The most recent results will be presented
