The effects of Scalar Leptoquarks in various channels have been analysed for the HERA collider and also for an eventual new $ep$ machine running at higher energies. We emphasize the relevance of polarized beams.
Astrophysical tests of the stability of fundamental couplings are becoming an increasingly important probe of new physics. Motivated by the recent availability of new and stronger constraints we update previous works testing the consistency…
A summary is given on the experimental bounds for the couplings and masses of scalar and vector leptoquarks associated to the first fermion generation. We investigate to which extent an interpretation of the recently reported excess of…
We calculate the rate of producing deep inelastic events containing an energetic isolated forward photon at HERA. We quantify the enhancement arising from the leading $\log 1/x$ gluon emissions with a view to using such events to identify…

Data from the Large Electron Positron collider (LEP) at CERN on hadron production in gamma-gamma interactions exceed the predictions of the standard model by an order of magnitude at the highest observed transverse momenta in three…
New QCD results obtained by the H1 Collaboration are summarized. These results are based on data taken in $e^{\pm}p$ collisions at HERA I (1994-2002) and HERA II (2003-2007) corresponding to an integrated luminosity of almost $\rm 0.5…
We report the latest results of the ZEUS collaboration on the photoproduction of D* mesons in a low W range. Differential cross sections as function of pt(D*) and eta(D*) are measured and compared with several recent NLO pQCD calculations.…
This lecture gives an overview about beam diagnostics techniques for the characterization of electron bunches obtained with plasma accelerators. Due to the limited space, the lecture does not aim to go into the specifics of the single…
Recent results of searches for events containing isolated leptons and missing transverse momentum at HERA are presented. Searches in this final state have yielded notable excesses over Standard Model expectations in the past. Searches for…
Linear colliders offer a unique possibility to study gamma gamma and gamma electron interactions at the energies 0.1--2 TeV. This option is now included in design reports of NLC, JLC and TESLA/SBLC. This paper includes: status of photon…
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.
We argue that the probability of gap survival in dijet production in $\gamma p$ scattering as measured by ZEUS may be due to the color transparency phenomenon and suggest ways to test this hypothesis in the future $\gamma p$ and $\gamma A$…
Several issues related to pentaquark searches relevant for current and future high-energy colliding experiments are discussed. We make an attempt to explain why pentaquark candidates are not seen by some experiments, and what makes the HERA…
