Construction of the ERLC (twin LC) collider tangential to LHC or FCC will give opportunity to realize ep collisions at multi-TeV center-of-mass energies. Luminosity estimations show that values well exceeding 10^34 cm^-2s^-1 can be achieved…
Motivated by the tantalizing excesses recently reported in the di-photon invariant mass spectrum at the LHC, we scrutinize some implications of scalar di-photon resonances in high energy proton-proton collisions. In particular, indications…
Recent studies suggest that global fits of Parton Distribution Functions (PDFs) might inadvertently 'fit away' signs of new physics in the high-energy tails of the distributions measured at the high luminosity programme of the LHC (HL-LHC).…
The main theme of the lectures covered the experimental work at hadron colliders, with a clear focus on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and on the roadmap that led finally to the discovery of the Higgs boson. The lectures were not a…
Axionlike particles (ALPs) emerge from spontaneously broken global symmetries in high energy extensions of the Standard Model (SM). This causes ALPs to be among the objectives of future experiments which intend to search for new physics…
A search is presented for an extended Higgs sector with two new particles, X and $\phi$, in the process X $\to$ $\phi\phi$ $\to$ $(\gamma\gamma)(\gamma\gamma)$. Novel neural networks classify events with diphotons that are merged and…

The LHC did not discover new particles beyond the Standard Model Higgs boson at 7 and 8 TeV, or in the first data samples at 13 TeV. However, the complementary nature of physics with $e^+e^-$ collisions still offers many interesting…
