A regular black hole model, which has been proposed by Hayward, is reconsidered in the framework of higher dimensional TeV unification and self-complete quantum gravity scenario (Dvali, Spallucci). We point out the "quantum" nature of these…
I review recent progress on the Higgs production in gamma gamma collisions at the photon mode of the Next Linear Collider (NLC). I mainly focus on two particular topics. The first topic is the Higgs-two photon vertex, which is sensitive to…

Scattering of particles in the gravitational field of Kerr black holes is considered. It is shown that scattering energy of particles in the centre of mass system can obtain very large values not only for extremal black holes but also for…

A field theoretical description of mini black hole production at TeV energies is given taking into account the quantization of black holes in discrete resonances. The unknown quantum gravitational effects are absorbed in effective…
In recent years, there have been significant developments in heavy quarkonium production, both in theory and in experiment. These developments may have important implications for the use of charmonium as a probe in heavy-ion collisions. A…
The advent of high-energy hadron colliders necessitates efficient and accurate computation of multi-jet production processes, both as QCD processes in their own right and as backgrounds for other physics. The algorithm that performs these…

We summarise the perspectives on heavy-quarkonium production at the LHC, both for proton-proton and heavy-ion runs, as emanating from the round table held at the HLPW 2008 Conference. The main topics are: present experimental and…
Recent theoretical developments concerning Higgs production at the Large Hadron Collider are reviewed, both in the Standard Model and in the MSSM. Emphasis is put on the inclusive and exclusive cross sections for gluon fusion, as well as on…
The upcoming high energy experiments at the LHC are one of the most outstanding efforts for a better understanding of nature. It is associated with great hopes in the physics community. But there is also some fear in the public, that the…
Recent developments in the study of hard QCD processes at colliders are reviewed, in the context of the imminent startup of the LHC.
We investigate formation of an apparent horizon (AH) in high-energy particle collisions in four- and higher-dimensional general relativity, motivated by TeV-scale gravity scenarios. The goal is to estimate the prefactor in the geometric…
The production of black holes in large extra dimensions is studied for Tevatron energies. We find that black holes may have already been created in small abundance in $\bar p p$ collisions at $\sqrt s=1.8$ TeV. For the next Tevatron run…
