We perform a model independent analysis of the production of scalar and vector leptoquarks in the $e^-\gamma$ mode of a linear collider of the next generation. Since these leptoquarks are produced singly, higher masses can be probed than in…
We study $J/\Psi$ production at photon-photon colliders, which can be realised with Compton scaterring of laser photons at $e^+e^-$ colliders. We find that the production rate through the color-octet channel is comparable to that through…
If the gravitino G is very light and all the other supersymmetric particles are above threshold, supersymmetry may still be found at colliders, by looking at processes with only gravitinos and ordinary particles in the final state. We…
