The process gamma gamma -> l+ l- is highly suppressed when the total angular momentum of the two colliding photons is zero so that it cannot be used for luminosity determination. This configuration, however is needed for Higgs production at…
The physical processes behind the production of light nuclei in heavy ion collisions are unclear. The nice theoretical description of experimental yields by thermal models conflicts with the very small binding energies of the observed…
We analyse the production of a light charged Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) via the quark-fusion mechanism $c \bar{b} \to H^- $ considering the decay channel $H^- \to \tau \bar \nu_\tau$ in the final state. We study this…
Exploiting the fact that $W$ pair production in high-energy $\gamma \gamma$ collisions is very large, we use this process to trigger Higgs, $Z$ or photon radiation. We find that there are sizeable rising cross-sections for triple bosons…
A variety of phenomena, which reveal itself in distant collisions of ultrarelativistic nuclei is discussed. One or both nuclei may be disintegrated in a single collision event by the long-range electromagnetic forces due to the impact of…
Last two years were very important in history of a photon colliders. This option is included now in conceptual design reports of the NLC, JLC and TESLA/SBLC projects. All the designs foresee two interaction regions: one for e+e- and the…
We investigate the properties of the radion in the 5D linear dilaton model arising from Little String Theory. A Goldberger-Wise type mechanism is used to stabilise a large interbrane distance, with the dilaton now playing the role of the…
We discuss processes leading to two photon final states in peripheral heavy ion collisions at RHIC. Due to the large photon luminosity we show that the continuum subprocess $\gamma \gamma \to \gamma \gamma$ can be observed with a large…
We study charged Higgs boson production at future electron-proton colliders in the framework of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. We focus our attention to the case of single-top production and decay through the channel $t\to…
We review some recent developments in Higgs physics at a $\gamma\gamma$ collider. We begin with single Higgs boson production in $\gamma\gamma$ collisions proceeding via the hadronic content of the photon. For SM Higgs masses of current…
We investigate the production of a pseudoscalar Higgs-boson $A^0$ using the reaction $e\,\gamma\rightarrow e\,A^0$ at an $e\bar{e}$ collider with center of mass energy of 500 GeV. Supersymmetric contributions are included and provide a…
The new colored vector-like heavy fermion $T$ is a crucial prediction in little Higgs models, which plays a key role in breaking the electroweak symmetry. The littlest Higgs model is the most economical one among various little Higgs…
Motivated by the recent LHC observation of an excess of diphoton events around an invariant mass of 750 GeV, we discuss the possibility that this is due to the decay of a new scalar or pseudoscalar resonance dominantly produced via…
A complete study for the production of neutral (h^0, H^0, A^0 (= \phi^0_i)) and charged Higgs (H^\pm) bosons at electron-photon colliders is presented in the context of the minimal supersymmetric standard model. A particular choice of the…
The existence of a new spin-zero particle with a mass below the electroweak scale is predicted by several theoretical models. Searches for resonant production of photon pairs at the LHC are able to probe these models. We present a search…
We discuss the possible production of the $\sigma$ meson and detection of its two photon decay mode in peripheral heavy ion collisions at RHIC. Assuming the mass and total decay width values reported recently by the E791 Collaboration, we…
Many models, in particular, the brane-world models with two branes, predict the existence of the scalar radion, whose mass can be somewhat smaller than those of all the Kaluza-Klein modes of the graviton and Standard Model (SM) particles.…
A strong candidate for the Standard Model Scalar boson, H(126), has been discovered by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments. In order to study this fundamental particle with unprecedented precision, and to perform precision tests of…
In the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, the cross section for the associated production of the lightest neutral Higgs boson with the lightest top squark pairs can be rather substantial at high energies. We summarize the properties of…
We study the `single photon' process e+- e- -> gamma nu nubar with contributions due to exchange of massive gravitons in the Randall- Sundrum model of low-scale quantum gravity. It is shown that for significant regions in the parameter…
