Several models predict the existence of new resonances in the multi-TeV region, which should be accessible in e+e- collisions by s-channel production. In this paper, we review the phenomenology of some specific models and we present a…
The structure of the photon is studied in high energy photon-proton interactions at HERA and photon-photon interactions at LEP. The status of these measurements is reviewed.
High intensity back-scattered laser beams will allow the efficient conversion of a substantial fraction of the incident lepton energy into high energy photons, thus significantly extending the physics capabilities of an electron-electron or…
At high energies photon-photon interactions are dominated by quantum fluctuations of the photons into fermion-antifermion pairs and into vector mesons. This is called photon structure. Electron-positron collisions at LEP are an ideal…
The structure of the photon is probed in photon-photon interactions at LEP and in photon-proton interactions at HERA.
We study the production of composite scalar leptoquarks in $e\gamma$ colliders, and we show that an $e^+e^-$ machine operating in its $e\gamma$ mode is the best way to look for these particles in $e^+e^-$ collisions, due to the hadronic…
The study of hyperon resonances has entered a new era of precision with advent of high-statistics photoproduction data from the CLAS detector at Jefferson Lab. These data have multi-particle final states, allowing clean identification of…
A strong laser field and the Coulomb field of a nucleus can produce e^{+}e^{-} pairs. It is shown for the first time that there is a large probability that electrons and positrons created in this process collide after one or several…

In central collisions at relativistic heavy ion colliders like the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider RHIC/Brookhaven and the Large Hadron Collider LHC (in its heavy ion mode) at CERN/Geneva, one aims at detecting a new form of hadronic matter…
Proton-proton (pp) collisions have been traditionally used as a baseline measurement in the search for a deconfined state of matter in heavy-ion collisions at ultrarelativistic energies. The unprecedented collision energies that are…
An overview is given of the study of final state interactions in hadronically decaying W pairs produced in e^+e^--collisions as it is performed by the four LEP experiments. Bose-Einstein correlations are investigated by comparing like- with…
We confront the generally small cross sections for gluino pair production in e^+e^- annihilation with the much larger ones in photon-photon scattering at a multi-TeV linear collider like CERN CLIC. The larger rates and the steeper rise of…
We study the possibility of discovering resonances in $\mu^+e^- \to \mu^- e^+$ and $e^-e^- \to \mu^- \mu^-$ collisions. We begin with the closely related problem of muonium--antimuonium transitions, where the experimental limit has just…
Oblique contributions from vector particles that are strongly coupled to the known gauge bosons are calculated for the case of various observables at a 1 TeV $e^+e^-$ collider. Constraints provided by LEP 1 results are taken into account in…

Motivated by the ATLAS and CMS announcements of the excesses of di-photon events, we discuss the production and decay processes of di-photon resonance at future $e^+e^-$ colliders. We assume that the excess of the di-photon events at the…
Starting from a bound-state model of weakly bound quarks for ($q \bar{q}$) mesons, we derive a formalism for computing the production or decay of such mesons, whatever the value of their internal orbital angular momentum L. That approach…
The collision of two intense, low-frequency laser beams is considered. The $e^-e^+$ pairs created in this field are shown to exhibit recollisions, which take place at high energy accumulated due to the wiggling of fermions. The resulting…
