This review provides an overview of many recent advances in detector technologies for particle physics experiments. Challenges for new technologies include increasing spatial and temporal sensitivity, speed, and radiation hardness while…
The current status of evaluating thermal production of lepton pairs in high-energy collisions of heavy nuclei is discussed. After a brief survey of emission rates from hot and dense matter, we address applications to (and interpretations…
The future linear collider will collide dense $e^+e^-$ bunches at high energies up to 1 TeV, generating very intense electromagnetic fields at the interaction point (IP). These fields are strong enough to lead to nonlinear effects which…
A few examples of exclusive processes at high energy are discussed. Several mechanisms are presented. The differential distributions are shown. The possibilities to measure the processes are discussed.
CERN dilepton experiments have provided the most exciting data. Strong enhancement at low masses observed by CERES and HELIOS3 indicate strong modification in the vector channel in matter compared to vacuum properties. NA50 data on $J/\psi$…
New heavy charged lepton production and decay signatures at future electron-positron colliders are investigated at $\sqrt {s}=500$ GeV. The consequences of model dependence for vector singlets and vector doublets are studied. Distributions…
Plasma-based accelerators have achieved tremendous progress in the past few decades, thanks to the advances of high power lasers and the availability of high-energy and relativistic particle beams. However, the electrons (or positrons)…

The CompHEP package was developed for calculations of decay and high energy collision processes with, correspondingly, up to 5 and 4 final particles in the lowest order (tree) approximation. The main idea put into CompHEP was to make…
The synergy between the Large Hadron Collider and the International Linear Collider during concurrent running of the two machines has the potential to maximise the physics gain from both facilities. Some examples of detailed case studies of…
We present the theoretical results on the forward Lambda_b production in p-p collisions at LHC energies. It can give us useful information on the Regge trajectories of the bottom mesons.
The design of the LHC and future colliders aims their operation with high intensity beams, with bunch population, $N_p$, of the order of $10^{11}$. This is dictated by a desire to study very rare processes with maximum data sample. HEP…
The latest results of long-lived particle (LLP) searches from the ATLAS Experiment at the Large Hadron Collider are presented. Analyses are presented with a focus on detector subsystem needed to discern the LLP signature from Standard Model…
Heavy-ion collisions will enter a new era with the start of the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). A first short run with proton-proton collisions at the injection energy of 0.9 TeV will be followed by a longer one with $pp$ collisions at 10…
The ALICE experiment at the LHC has collected data in proton-proton (pp) collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 0.9, 2.76, 7 and 8 TeV, in lead-lead (Pb--Pb) collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 2.76 TeV and in proton-lead (p-Pb) collisions at…
We review some basic concepts of Relativistic Heavy Ion Physics and discuss our understanding of some key results from the experimental program at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). We focus in particular on the early time dynamics…
Extending the sensitivity to New Physics beyond the anticipated reach of the LHC is a prime aim of future colliders. This paper summarises the potential of an e+e- linear collider, at and beyond 1 TeV, using a realistic simulation of the…
