We introduce a modification to the standard expression for tree-level CP violation in scattering processes at the LHC, which is important when the initial state is not self-conjugate. Based on that, we propose a generic and model-independent search strategy for probing tree-level CP violation in inclusive multilepton signals. We then use TeV-scale 4-fermion operators of the form tuℓℓ and tcℓℓ with complex Wilson coefficients as an illustrative example and show that it may generate O(10%) CP asymmetries that should be accessible at the LHC with an integrated luminosity of O(1000)  fb^{-1}.

A search for doubly charged Higgs bosons with pairs of prompt, isolated, highly energetic leptons with the same electric charge is presented. The search uses a proton-proton collision data sample at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV corresponding to 36.1 of integrated luminosity recorded in 2015 and 2016 by the ATLAS detector at the LHC.

A search for standard model production of four top quarks ( ) is reported using events containing at least three leptons ( ) or a same-sign lepton pair. The events are produced in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 at the LHC, and the data sample, recorded in 2016, corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 .

A search for a signal consistent with the type-III seesaw mechanism in events with three or more electrons or muons is presented. The data sample consists of proton-proton collisions at sqrt[s]=13  TeV collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2016 and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 35.9  fb^{-1}.

A measurement of the [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] production cross sections in final states with either two same-charge muons, or three or four leptons (electrons or muons) is presented. The analysis uses a data sample of proton-proton collisions at [Formula: see text] TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider in 2015, corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 3.2 fb[Formula: see text].
