At photon colliders gamma-gamma, gamma-electron high energy photons are produced by Compton scattering of laser light off the high energy electrons (or positrons) at a linear collider. At first sight, photon colliders based on e-e- or e+e-…
We present a new technique, `Tau Polarimetry', for measuring the longitudinal beam polarization present in an $e^+e^-$ collider through the analysis of $e^+e^-\rightarrow\tau^+\tau^-$ events. By exploiting the sensitivity of $\tau$ decay…

We explore the mono-$Z$ signature for dark matter searches at future high energy $e^+e^-$ colliders. In the context of effective field theory, we consider two kinds of contact operators describing dark matter interactions with electroweak…
We consider the possibility of observing deviations from the Standard Model gauge-boson self-couplings at a future $500$~GeV $e^+ e^-$ linear collider. We concentrate on the case in which the electroweak symmetry breaking sector is strongly…
We study the effects of long and short-range electron-electron interactions in a graphene bilayer. Using a variational wavefunction technique we show that in the presence of long-range Coulomb interactions the clean bilayer is always…

We provide an effective Lagrangian analysis of contact non-standard interactions of neutrinos with electrons, which can be effectively mediated by extra particles, and examine the associated experimental limits. At present, such…
We study the sensitivity to the Z' couplings of the processes $e^+e^-\to l^+l^-,\bar{b}b$ and $\bar{c}c$ at the linear collider with $\sqrt{s}=500 GeV$ with initial beam polarization, for typical extended model examples. To this aim, we use…
If new particles are discovered, it will be important to determine if they are the supersymmetric partners of standard model bosons and fermions. Supersymmetry predicts relations among the couplings and masses of these particles. We discuss…
The remarkable synergy and complementarity between the circular ${\rm e^+ e^-}$ and pp colliders has been extensively discussed. In this short document, we investigate the complementarity between the proposed circular and linear ${\rm e^+…

It is well known that at linear e^+e^-(e^-e^-) colliders using laser backscattering one can obtain colliding gamma-gamma, gamma-electron beams with energy and luminosity comparable to those in e^+e^- collisions. In this paper, it is…
We review some of the reactions which can be studied in the $e^-e^-$ mode of a linear collider and may reveal aspects of physics beyond the realm of the standard model. The complementarity to $e^+e^-$ scattering is stressed.
Numerous non-standard dynamics are described by contact-like effective interactions that can manifest themselves through deviations of the cross sections from the Standard Model predictions. If one such deviation were observed, one should…
An electron beam polarization of 80% or greater will be a key feature of a 1 TeV Linear Collider. Accurate measurements of the beam polarization will therefore be needed. We discuss design considerations and capabilities for a…
