Bosons which couple to two leptons and carry lepton number L=2, generically called bileptons, appear in many extensions of the standard model. We review the present constraints on bilepton parameters coming from low and high energy data. In…
Production of a single doubly charged Higgs boson $Delta^{--}$ in polarized $e^+e^-$ and $e^+\gamma$ collision modes of the linear collider have been investigated. The mass range of $Delta^{--}$ to be probed extends up to the collision…
Vector mesons are copiously produced in ultra-peripheral nucleus-nucleus collisions. In these collisions, the nuclei are separated by impact parameters larger than the sum of the nuclear radii, and the interaction is mediated by the…
