This theoretical review is intended to give non-theorists a flavor of the ideas driving the current efforts to experimentally find supersymmetry. We discuss the main reasons behind the expectation that supersymmetry may be "just around the…
Current and future colliders will provide high precision experimental data. In order to use the high experimental precision it has to be matched with theoretical predictions at the same level of accuracy or better. This involves the…
We discuss the production of new matter particles that are predicted by many extensions of the Standard Model, at future high--energy pp, eP and $e^+e^-$ linear colliders. We focus on the case of exotic, excited and di--fermions. Talk given…

A variety of possible future analyses of HERA data in the context of the HERA data preservation programme is collected, motivated, and commented. The focus is placed on possible future analyses of the existing $ep$ collider data and their…
We show that current experimental constraints already severely restrict what might be observable at $e\mu$ colliders. We identify some cases where it may be possible to probe physics beyond what might be possible at other facilities and…
This exposition provides a detailed picture of ongoing and planned activities towards the development of a detector for a high-energy Linear Collider. Cases for which research and development activity does not exist, or needs to be…
