We calculate the gauge-boson pairs $W^-Z$, $W^-\gamma$, $W^+W^-$, $ZZ$ productions in the $e^- \gamma$ collisions, where the photon beam is realized by the laser back-scattering method. These processes are important tests for the…
We study axion-like particles (ALPs) whose dominant interactions are with gluons and third-generation quarks, and whose couplings to light Standard Model (SM) particles arise at one loop. These loop-induced effects lead to ALP decays and…
Highly boosted axion-like particles decaying into photon pairs are notoriously hard to detect at the LHC. The collimated decay photons cannot be individually reconstructed using only electromagnetic calorimeter information, making the…
Gamma-ray photons can convert into axion-like particles (ALPs) and vice versa when interacting with astrophysical magnetic fields. The conversions of ALPs may have important implications for astrophysics since they would imprint…

We study displaced vertex signatures of long-lived particles (LLPs) from exotic Higgs decays in the context of a Higgs-portal model and a neutral-naturalness model at the CEPC and FCC-ee. Such two models feature two representative mass…
The study of electroweak boson pair production provides a powerful test of the spontaneously broken gauge symmetry of the Standard Model (SM) and can be used to search for new phenomena beyond the SM. Extra neutral vector bosons $Z'$…
