Non-susy Searches at the Tevatron

Without unambiguously new phenomena to explore or a truly compelling Standard Model extension to test, the highest-energy collider experiments often look for anomalous physics via model-independent “signatures” which are general enough to probe a broad variety of models but specific enough to allow sufficient optimization against backgrounds. Along with targeted analyses, such as the searches for supersymmetry discussed elsewhere in these proceedings, CDF and DØ perform many signature-based searches. I discuss some recent results here; searches involving top quarks or signature-independence are described in separate contributions.
