We discuss the production at $e^+e^-$ colliders of Higgs bosons in association with both the scalar leptons and the lightest neutralinos in the Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model. While the rates for associated Higgs…
This Letter presents a search for exotic decays of the Higgs boson to a pair of new (pseudo)scalar particles, $H\to aa$, where the $a$ particle has a mass in the range 20-60 GeV, and where one of the $a$ bosons decays into a pair of photons…
Top quark with its large Yukawa coupling is crucially important to explore TeV scale physics. Therefore, the study of Higgs-top sector is highly motivated to look for any deviations from the standard model predictions. The most general…
We study the discovery prospects of the leptophilic photon Z\_l, a hypothetical gauge boson beyond the Standard Model, at future electron-positron colliders. Our analysis is based on the process e+e- -> mu+mu- and consistently includes…
We investigate trilepton final states to probe top anomalous couplings at the Large Hadron Collider. We focus on events originating from the associated production of a single top quark with a Z-boson, a channel sensitive to several…

Collider signatures of the $SO(5) \times U(1)$ gauge-Higgs unification model in the Randall-Sundrum warped space are explored. Gauge couplings of quarks and leptons receive small corrections from the fifth dimension whose effects are tested…
We consider QCD t\bar{t}\gamma and t\bar{t}Z production at hadron colliders as a tool to measure the tt\gamma and ttZ couplings. At the Tevatron it may be possible to perform a first, albeit not very precise, test of the tt\gamma vector and…
We propose a means to discriminate between the two basic variants of Little Higgs models, the Product Group and Simple Group models, at the next generation of colliders. It relies on a special coupling of light pseudoscalar particles…
In the past few years there has been a great deal of theoretical and experimental activity related to the search for low-mass scalars, pseudoscalars, and vectors in various scenarios of physics beyond the standard model. I review the…
The prospects for discovery of the five Higgs bosons of the minimal supersymmetric standard model are assessed for existing and planned future colliders, including LEP\,I, LEP\,II, LHC and SSC. As a benchmark for comparisons, we take a…
The discovery of a new neutral gauge boson $Z'$ with a mass in the TeV region would allow for determination of gauge couplings of the $Z'$ to ordinary quarks and leptons in a model independent way. We show that these couplings in turn would…
Many extensions of the Standard Model include $SU(2)_L \times U(1)_Y$ singlet higgs bosons, $h^0$, and also vectorlike fermions which couple to it. The production and detection possibilities of such singlet neutral scalars at hadron…

Searches for Dark Matter at the LHC are commonly described in terms of simplified models with scalar, pseudo-scalar, vector and axial-vector mediators. In this work we explore the constraints imposed on such models from the observed Dark…
