I give an overview of the ability of a high energy $\mu^+\mu^-$ collider to discover new particles and interactions. I start with heavy fermions which will be the most straightforward to produce and observe. I then discuss single leptoquark…

At the Large Hadron Collider, heavy particles may be produced in pairs close to their kinematic threshold. If these particles have strong enough attractive interactions they may form bound states. Consequently, the bound states may decay…

We study the jet activity that accompanies the production by gluon fusion of a new physics scalar particle decaying into photons at the LHC. In the considered scenarios, both the production and decay mechanisms are governed by loop-induced…
The hadroproduction of lepton pairs with mass $Q$ and finite transverse momentum $Q_T$ is dominated by quark-gluon scattering in the region $Q_T > Q/2$. This feature provides a new independent method for constraining the gluon density with…
