The exclusive production pp->pXp is known to be one of the most clean channels at the LHC. We investigate the potential of processes pp -> p l-l+ p and pp-> p gamma gamma p to probe scalar and tensor unparticles by considering three…
We examine the possibility of using single-Higgs production at an $e^+e^-$ collider with polarized beams to measure, or constrain, indirectly a possible anomalous triple-Higgs coupling, which can contribute to the process via one-loop…
New gauge bosons coupled to heavy neutral leptons (HNLs) are simple and well-motivated extensions of the Standard Model. In searches for HNLs in proton fixed-target experiments, we find that a large population of gauge bosons ($Z^\prime$)…
We start by presenting the current status of a complex flavour conserving two-Higgs doublet model. We will focus on some very interesting scenarios where unexpectedly the light Higgs couplings to leptons and to b-quarks can have a large…
We confront the malaphoric $B_3-L_2$ model with bounds coming from a search for resonances in the di-lepton channels at the 13~TeV LHC. In contrast to the original $B_3-L_2$ model, the $Z^\prime$ of the malaphoric $B_3-L_2$ model has…
We analyze polarization phenomena for elastic lepton-nucleon scattering, parametrizing the $2\gamma$-exchange contribution, as the product of lepton and nucleon axial vector currents, that correspond to $C=+1$ exchange in the annihilation…
We extend to the special case of Bhabha scattering the "Z-peak subtracted" representation previously applied to e+e- to f f(bar) (f different from e). This allows us to analyze the process at any energy while imposing in an automatic way…
The Higgs-portal lepton flavor violation is studied in a vectorlike lepton model. For evading the constraints from rare $Z\to \ell^\pm_i \ell^\mp_j$ decays, we introduce two triplet vectorlike leptons, $(1,3)_{-1}$ and $(1,3)_{0}$. The…
The cross-section for the process $\gamma + A \to \mu^+ + \mu^- + X$ is studied where the photon energy is of the order of several hundreds of GeV and where one of the leptons is scattered to large angles. This is of practical importance…
Fermion compositness, and other new physics which can be described by an exchange of very massive particles ($Z^\prime$ boson, leptoquarks, sparticles with R-parity violating couplings), can be manifest itself as the presence of a strong…
In the case of the process $e^+e^-\to\mu^+\mu^-$, we study the sensitivity to either $Z^\prime$ or anomalous gauge coupling effects of two new observables, $\sigma_+$ and $\sigma_-$, conveniently defined for such kind of analysis. We…
The type X (lepton-specific) two-Higgs-doublet model at large $\tan\beta$ becomes leptophilic and thus allows a light pseudoscalar $A$ accommodating the observed muon $g-2$ deviation without conflicting with various hadronic constraints. On…
Elastic light-by-light scattering, $\gamma\gamma\to\gamma\gamma$, can be measured in electromagnetic interactions of lead (Pb) ions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and Future Circular Collider (FCC), using the large (quasi)real photon…
We point out that the surface integral of the Babu diagram gives non-trivial main contribution independent of the charged lepton masses and the scale of new physics. It can fit the experimental data on both solar and atmospheric neutrino…
We evaluate the potential of a dedicated search for tth production in the SSDL+2b channel. Such a measurement provides direct access to the top Yukawa coupling, since the sensitivity is not convolved with the loop-level h-gamma-gamma or…
The Standard Model of particle physics predicts that charged leptons have the same electroweak interaction strength. This symmetry, called lepton flavour universality, was found to hold in a wide range of particle decays. One observable…
We perform a complete simulation of the process $ e^+ e^- \to \tau^+ \tau^- \nu \bar{\nu}$, where $\nu$ can be an electron, muon or tau neutrino, in the context of a general Higgs coupling to $\tau$ leptons. We analyse various kinematical…
Future $e^+e^-$ colliders at the Z pole place strong demands of $\frac{\delta L}{L}<10^{-4}$ on the integrated luminosity measurement. Small angle Bhabha scattering (SABS) remains the standard channel, while diphoton ($\gamma\gamma$) events…
We study the pair production of heavy charged exotic leptons at e+ e- colliders in the SU(2)_L x SU(2)_I x U(1)_Y model. This gauge group is a subgroup of the grand unification group E6; SU(2)_I commutes with the electric charge operator,…
QED processes at electron-positron colliders are considerd. We present differential cross-sections for large-angle Bhabha scattering, annihilation into muons and photons. Radiative corrections in the first order are taken into account…
