We have examined inclusive $\mu^+\mu^- \rightarrow \mu^+ \mu^- + E_{\mathrm{miss}}$ and annihilation $\mu^+\mu^- \rightarrow \mu^+ \mu^-$ processes at future high energy muon colliders in the framework of the Randall-Sundrum-like model with…
Two photon processes are a wonderful by-product of an $e^+e^-$ collider at any energy. Two photon reactions probe the very structure of matter. A machine operating below 2 GeV has the potential to reveal the Higgs sector of the strong…
Warped extra dimension claims remarkable success: solving the hierarchy problem; explaining hierarchies in particle phenomenology; yielding standard cosmology, plus interesting nonstandard scenarios. Yet it has marked shortcomings: we…
We consider a deformation of five-dimensional warped gravity with bulk and boundary mass terms to quadratic order in the action. We show that massless zero modes occur for special choices of the masses. The tensor zero mode is a smooth…
We discuss duality in ``two-photon''-like processes in the scalar $\varphi^3_E$ model and also in the process $\gamma^*\gamma\to\pi\pi$ in QCD. Duality implies the equivalence between two distinct nonperturbative mechanisms. These two…
The phenomenology of the Randall-Sundrum model of localized gravity is analyzed in detail for the two scenarios where the Standard Model (SM) gauge and matter fields are either confined to a TeV scale 3-brane or may propagate in a slice of…
In the search for a quantum theory of gravity it is crucial to find experimental access to quantum gravitational effects. Since these are expected to be very small at observationally accessible scales it is advantageous to consider…
It is shown that in reaction \gamma\gamma\to\ell^+\ell^-+\nu's at \sqrt{s}>200 GeV with polarized photons, large and well observable differences arise in the distribution of positive and negative charged leptons (\ell=\mu^\pm, e^\pm),…
We consider graviton-induced Bremsstrahlung at future e^+e^- colliders in both the ADD and RS models, with emphasis on the photon perpendicular momentum and angular distribution. The photon spectrum is shown to be harder than in the…

This is one of a number of papers in which the metric for space-time is defined on the subatomic level by means of the interchange of photons, and constrained to be consistent with radar. It is shown that the discrete nature of particle…
We consider the Sine-Gordon model coupled to 2D gravity. We find a nonperturbative expression for the partition function as a function of the cosmological constant, the SG mass and the SG coupling constant. At genus zero, the partition…
The deflection of light in the gravitational field of the Sun is one of the most fundamental consequences for general relativity as well as one of its classical tests first performed by Eddington a century ago. However, despite its center…
The coherent-nuclear reaction a + A -> a* + A is in the small-angle region dominated by the one-photon-exchange mechanism, often referred to as the Primakoff effect. In this region information about the electromagnetic decay a* -> a + gamma…
In the framework of causal perturbation theory we consider a massive scalar field coupled to gravity. In the field theoretic approach to quantum gravity (QG) we start with a massless second rank tensor field. This tensor field is then…
The $\gamma^* \gamma \to \pi \pi \pi$ reaction is analysed in QCD at large photon virtuality Q and small hadronic mass W. Its amplitude factorizes in a $3 \pi$ generalized distribution amplitude and a hard subprocess $\gamma^* \gamma \to q…

We show that smooth domain wall spacetimes supported by a scalar field separating two anti-de-Sitter like regions admit a single graviton bound state. Our analysis yields a fully non-linear supergravity treatment of the Randall-Sundrum…
Collinear and soft divergences in perturbative quantum gravity are investigated to arbitrary orders in amplitudes for wide-angle scattering, using methods developed for gauge theories. We show that collinear singularities cancel when all…
We study radion stabilization in the compact Randall-Sundrum model by introducing a bulk scalar field, as in the Goldberger and Wise mechanism, but (partially) taking into account the backreactions from the scalar field on the metric. Our…
