We study the possibility of evading astrophysical bound on light pseudoscalars. We argue that the solar bounds can be evaded if we have a sufficiently strong self-coupling of the pseudoscalars. The required coupling does not conflict with…

It is possible to place constraints on non-Standard-Model gauge-boson self-couplings and other new physics by studying their one-loop contributions to precisely measured observables. We extend previous analyses which constrain such…
We discuss the measurement of the $WWV$ ($V=\gamma,\, Z$) gauge boson couplings in present and future collider experiments. The major goals of such experiments will be the confirmation of the Standard Model (SM) predictions and the search…
We study the collider signatures of a T-odd gauge boson $W_{H}$ pair production in the Littlest Higgs Model with T-parity (LHT) at Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and Linear Collider (LC). At the LHC, we search for the $W_{H}$ boson using its…

Determination of the top-quark Yukawa couplings in the process e+ e- -> t \bar{t} Z has been studied for the high luminosity option (\int L=500\fbinver) of a linear e+e- collider. Polarization of the electron beam has been considered. The…

Precise measurements of weak vector bosons self couplings give a hint on the electroweak symmetry breaking sector. We first stress that present data from LEP and TEVATRON clearly indicate that weak bosons are self interacting. We then…
Hitherto unknown elementary particles can be searched for with atomic spectroscopy. We conduct such a search using a potential that results from the longitudinal polarization of a pseudovector particle. We show that such a potential,…
Axion-like particles and similar new pseudoscalar as well as vector bosons coupled to nucleons and electrons are predicted to lead to spin-dependent forces in atoms and ions. We argue that hyperfine structure measurements in hydrogen- and…
A conformally invariant hidden sector is considered, with a scalar operator $O$ of low dimension that couples to the electro-weak gauge bosons of the Standard Model, via terms such as $O F^{\mu\nu}F_{\mu\nu}$. By examining single photon…
A search for scalar or pseudoscalar states decaying to a top quark-antiquark pair ($\mathrm{t \bar{t}}$), using $138\,\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ of pp collision data taken at $\sqrt{s} = 13\,\mathrm{TeV}$ using the CMS detector, is presented. Events…
Current data on the signal strengths and angular spectrum of the 125.5 GeV Higgs boson still allow a CP-mixed state, namely, the pseudoscalar coupling to the top quark can be as sizable as the scalar coupling: $C_u^S \approx C_u^P =1/2$. CP…
The idea of unifying quarks and leptons in a gauge symmetry is very appealing. However, such an unification gives rise to leptoquark type gauge bosons for which current collider limits push their masses well beyond the TeV scale. We present…
We find the following improved laboratory bounds on the coupling of light pseudoscalars to protons and neutrons: $g_p^2/4\pi < 1.7 \times 10^{-9}$ and $g_n^2/4\pi < 6.8 \times 10^{-8}$. The limit on $g_p$ arises since a nonzero $g_p$ would…
