We consider the possibility of detecting vector resonances from a strong electroweak sector, in the framework of the BESS model, at future $e^+ e^-$ colliders up to the TeV range. If the mass $M_V$ of the new vector boson multiplet is not…

We consider a recent proposal by Dimopoulos and Kaplan to embed the electroweak SU(2)_L X U(1)_Y into a larger group SU(3)_W X SU(2) X U(1) at a scale above a TeV. This idea is motivated by the prediction for the weak mixing angle sin^2…
We investigate unitarity of $W^+W^-$ scattering in the context of theory space models of the form $U(1)\times {[SU(2)]}^N\times SU(2)_{N+1}$, which are broken down to $U(1)_{EM}$ by non-linear $\Sigma$ fields, without the presence of a…
The phenomenology associated with gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking is presented. A renormalization group analysis of the minimal model is performed in which the constraints of radiative electroweak symmetry breaking are imposed. The…
If the gauge fields of the Standard Model propagate in TeV-size extra dimensions, they rapidly become strongly coupled and can form scalar bound states of quarks and leptons. If the quarks and leptons of the third generation propagate in 6…
Interaction of Higgs scalar (H) with weak gauge bosons (V=W,Z) is the {\it key} to understand electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB) mechanism. New physics effects in the HVV interactions, as predicted by models of compositeness,…
Radiative symmetry breaking is studied in a superstring-inspired supersymmetric model which is extended with a low energy extra $U(1)$ symmetry. In this model the $\mu$-problem is radiatively solved in an automatic way. The right-handed…
We discuss how to experimentally study the electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB) sector by observing $WW \to WW$ interactions in the TeV region. We discuss some general features of the event structure in the signal and the background events.…
We investigate the possibility to disentangle the radions in the Randall-Sundrum scenario from higgs boson at the next generation high energy $e^+ e^-$ linear colliders. Due to trace anomaly, the radion coupling (and in turn the branching…
We study several aspects of supersymmetric models with a $U(1)_R$ symmetry where the Higgs doublet is identified with the superpartner of a lepton. We derive new, stronger bounds on the gaugino masses based on current measurements, and also…
We propose a new kind of inverse seesaw model without any additional symmetries. Instead of the symmetries, we introduce several fermions and bosons with higher $SU(2)_L$ representations. After formulating the Higgs sector and neutrino…

Many models beyond the Standard Electroweak Theory, top-down or bottom-up, contain extensions of the gauge symmetry group by extra U(1)' factors which can be understood or treated as subgroups of E(6). A brief overview of such models is…
We introduce a new class of Composite Higgs models in which electroweak symmetry is broken by a seesaw-like mechanism. If a global symmetry is broken sequentially at different scales, two sets of pseudo-Goldstone bosons will arise, one set…
We consider a classically conformal $U(1)$ gauge extension of the Standard Model (SM), in which the $U(1)$ gauge symmetry is radiatively broken by the Coleman-Weinberg mechanism. This breaking triggers the electroweak (EW) symmetry breaking…
