Violations of the Lorentz and CPT symmetries can appear as observable effects in the direct production of top quarks and their subsequent decays. Earlier results for the $q\bar{q}$ production process for $t\bar{t}$ pairs have been extended…
At hadron colliders, the search for R-parity violating supersymmetry can probe scalar masses beyond what is covered by pair production processes. We evaluate the next-to-leading order SUSY-QCD corrections to the associated stop or sbottom…

We analyse the production of a top quark pair through a heavy scalar at the LHC. We first review the main features of the signal as well as the interference with the top-anti-top background at leading order in QCD. We then study higher…
The determination of supersymmetric parameters at the LHC in favorable as well as difficult scenarios is presented. If discovered and measured at the LHC and the ILC, supersymmetry may provide a link between collider physics and cosmology.
We study the loop-induced process e+e- --> W+H- in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). This process allows the charged Higgs boson to be produced in e+e- collisions when its mass is larger than half the center-of-mass energy,…
The assumption of a new symmetry provides a nice explanation of the existence of dark matter and an elegant way to avoid the electroweak constraints. This symmetry often requires the pair production of new particles at colliders and it…
