We point out that the ratio of $W^+ W^- \to W^+ W^-$ and $W^+W^- \to ZZ$ cross sections is a sensitive probe of the dynamics of electroweak symmetry breaking, in the CM energy region $\sqrt {s_{\rm ww}^{}} \agt 1$~TeV where vector boson…
It has been proposed recently that the scale of quantum gravity (``the string scale'') can be $M_S \sim$ few TeV with $n \geq 2$ extra dimensions of size $R \stackrel{<}{\sim}$ mm so that, at distances greater than $R$, Newtonian gravity…
We discuss the collider signals of large extra dimensions in which gravity as well as the SM particles propagate into the extra dimensions. These signals arise either from the production of Kaluza-Klein excitations of the SM particles and…

We studied the sensitivity of the process $e^+e^-\to \ell \nu q\bar{q}'$ to anomalous trilinear gauge boson couplings of the $WW\gamma$ and WWZ vertices at the center of mass energies $\sqrt{s}=500$ GeV and 1 TeV. The bounds for the…

We perform a detailed study of the process $e^+e^-\to\gamma\nu_l\bar\nu_l$ and its sensitivity to anomalous gauge boson couplings of the $\gamma WW$ vertex. We concentrate on LEP II energies, $\sqrt{s}=200$ GeV, and energies appropria- te…
Theories with large extra compact dimensions predict exciting phenomenological consequences at the TeV scale. Such theories can, consequently, be tested/verified in experiments at future colliders like the Next Linear Collider (NLC). In…
Arkani-Hamed, Dimopoulos and Dvali have recently proposed that gravity may become strong at energies near 1 TeV due to the existence of large extra dimensions thus `removing' the hierarchy problem. In this talk we examine the exchange of…
We discuss indirect manifestations of graviton exchange, predicted by large extra dimensions, in fermion-pair production at a high-energy e^+e^- collider. By means of specifically defined asymmetries among integrated angular distributions,…
We consider the possibility of observing deviations from the Standard Model gauge-boson self-couplings at future $e\gamma$ colliders. We concentrate on the process $e^-\gamma \rightarrow \nu W^- Z$, which is particularly sensitive to the…
We study production of t {\bar t} via W^+ W^- fusion, including the relevant backgrounds at the proposed Linear Collider (an e^+ e^- collider with \sqrt{S} = 1.5 TeV) in the context of a Higssless Standard Model (SM), i.e. a nonlinear…
The physics potential is briefly summarized for an e+e- linear collider operating at center-of-mass energies up to \sqrt{s} = 1 TeV and delivering integrated luminosities up to \int L = 0.5 ab^(-1) in one to two years. This machine will…
We study the process $W^+ W^- \to t \bar t$ in several models of strong interaction electroweak symmetry breaking. We calculate the signals that can be expected by observing the reaction $e^+ e^- \to \nu \bar\nu t \bar t$ at an $e^+ e^-$…
We analyze the potentiality of the new generation of $e^+e^-$ linear colliders to search for large extra dimensions via the production of fermion pairs in association with Kaluza-Klein gravitons (G), i.e. $e^+e^- \leftarrow f\bar{f}G$. This…
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…
Extra spatial dimensions are proposed by recent theories that postulate the scale of gravity to be of the same order as the electroweak scale. A sizeable interaction between gravitons and Standard Model particles is then predicted. Effects…
High-energy data has been accumulating over the last ten years, and it should not be ignored when making decisions about the future experimental program. In particular, we argue that the electroweak data collected at LEP, SLC and Tevatron…
In the absence of light Higgs bosons, the W and Z bosons become strongly interacting particles at energies of about 1 TeV. If the longitudinal W,Z components are generated by Goldstone modes associated with spontaneous symmetry breaking in…
