We give a brief account of some physics topics which could be addressed at a collider consisting of the HERA proton ring and the future e+e- Linear Collider. A few experimental aspects are also discussed.
If new particles are discovered, it will be important to determine if they are the supersymmetric partners of standard model bosons and fermions. Supersymmetry predicts relations among the couplings and masses of these particles. We discuss…
There is strong evidence that new physical degrees of freedom and new phenomena exist and may be revealed in future collider experiments. The best hints of what this new physics might be are provided by electroweak symmetry breaking. I…
