We investigate the modeling of weak boson number densities for leptons and hadrons in practical calculations in the Standard Model. Working in the framework of the Effective $W$ Approximation (EWA) and in $R_\xi$ and axial gauges, we derive…
The processes gamma gamma -> WW and e gamma -> nu W are sensitive to triple gauge boson interactions. Both reactions have been simulated for hadronically decaying W-bosons and the sensitivity to anomalous couplings has been estimated.
The heavy neutral Higgs bosons H, A in the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model can be produced as single resonances at high-energy gamma gamma colliders. We have studied the prospects of the search for these particles in…
In the standard model, electro-weak bosons are developed as gauge-fields initially satisfying an SU(2) $\times$ U(1) local symmetry mediating interactions with a multi-component field. This symmetry gets broken when the component of the…
In order to verify the Higgs mechanism experimentally, the Higgs self-couplings have to be probed. These couplings allow the reconstruction of the characteristic Higgs potential responsible for the electroweak symmetry breaking. The…

In extra dimensional models with Kaluza-Klein graviton states that are well separated in mass, such states may be observed as resonances in collider experiments. We extend previous works on such scenarios by considering the one-loop…

We study the production and decay of heavy selectrons in the electron-photon mode of a linear collider of the next generation. The standard model backgrounds can be substantially reduced by appropriate kinematical cuts. As a consequence,…

Starting from the unmixed Lagrangian, the electro-weak radiative corrections are recomputed using symmetrical generalised functions. All gauge bosons acquire an indeterminate mass. Electro-weak mixing is obtained by diagonalization of the…
We describe the physics potential of $e^+e^-$ linear colliders in this report. These machines are planned to operate in the first phase at a center-of --mass energy of 500 GeV, before being scaled up to about 1 TeV. In the second phase of…
We point out that in a large class of superstring--inspired $E(6)$ models, either an e+e- collider operating at a center--of--mass energy $\rs= 1.5$ TeV or higher must detect the pair production of charged or neutral exotic leptons, or an…
We study the impact of the coupling of neutrinos with a new light neutral gauge boson, $Z^\prime$, with a mass of less than 500 {\rm MeV} in FASER$\nu$ experiment. Scenarios in which a light gauge boson is coupled to neutrinos are motivated…
The Standard Model amplitudes for processes where one or more gauge bosons are emitted exhibit zeros in the angular distributions. The theoretical and experimental aspects of these radiation amplitude zeros are reviewed and some recent…
We study the production of a Higgs boson recoiling from a massless invisible system in $e^ + e^ -$ collisions. This is a quite distinctive signature that can arise when the Higgs boson is produced in association with a massless dark photon,…
Discrepancies in measurements of the QCD running coupling constant are consistent with a new vector gauge boson coupling to baryon number with strength aB~0.1. Upsilon decays constrain such a boson to have a mass greater than about 35 GeV.…
Oblique contributions from vector particles that are strongly coupled to the known gauge bosons are calculated for the case of various observables at a 1 TeV $e^+e^-$ collider. Constraints provided by LEP 1 results are taken into account in…
We explore the physics of a new neutral gauge boson, ($Z^\prime$), coupling to only third-generation particles with a mass near the electroweak gauge boson mass poles. A $Z^\prime$ boson produced by top quarks and decaying to tau leptons is…
