abstract = {A generic search for anomalous production of events with at
least three charged leptons is presented. The data sample
consists of pp collisions at $ \sqrt{s}=8 $ TeV collected in
2012 by the ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron
Collider, and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of
20.3 fb$^{−1}$. Events are required to have at least three
selected lepton candidates, at least two of which must be
electrons or muons, while the third may be a hadronically
decaying tau. Selected events are categorized based on their
lepton flavour content and signal regions are constructed
using several kinematic variables of interest. No
significant deviations from Standard Model predictions are
observed. Model-independent upper limits on contributions
from beyond the Standard Model phenomena are provided for
each signal region, along with prescription to re-interpret
the limits for any model. Constraints are also placed on
models predicting doubly charged Higgs bosons and excited
leptons. For doubly charged Higgs bosons decaying to eτ or
μτ, lower limits on the mass are set at 400 GeV at 95\%
confidence level. For excited leptons, constraints are
provided as functions of both the mass of the excited state
and the compositeness scale Λ, with the strongest mass
constraints arising in regions where the mass equals Λ. In
such scenarios, lower mass limits are set at 3.0 TeV for
excited electrons and muons, 2.5 TeV for excited taus, and
1.6 TeV for every excited-neutrino flavour.},
