We investigate the question of whether an additional light neutral scalar can explain the $l^+ l^- \gamma \gamma$ events with high invariant mass photon pairs recently observed by the L3 collaboration. We parameterize the low energy effects…
We explore the possibility of having new physics which could account for the $l^+l^-\gamma\gamma$ events with $M_{\gamma\gamma}\simeq 60\ $GeV recently reported by LEP. We consider models which contain an extra neutral gauge boson ($Z'$)…
The $e^{+}\,e^{-}\,\rightarrow\,l^{+}\, \l^{-}\,\gamma\,\gamma$ anomalous events, detected by $L3$ de\-tec\-tor at $e^+ e^-$ $CERN-LEP$ collider have been analysed. It has been shown that the interpretation of such events as a manifestation…
Motivated by recent experiments at LEP ($Z \to l^+l^-\gamma\gamma$, with $M_{\gamma\gamma} \simeq 59 GeV$), we examine the possibility that such events are explained by a Bjorken process with a resonant Higgs ($M_{h^o} \simeq 59 GeV$)…
We propose an interpretation for the ($l\bar l\gamma \gamma ,\ M_{\gamma \gamma }=60{\rm GeV}$) events, which have recently been reported by L3 group at LEP. This may be a first signal of `Technicolor' theory.
We investigate the possibility of a multi-Higgs doublet model where the lightest neutral Higgs boson ($h^0$) decouples from the fermion sector. We are partially motivated by the four $\ell^+\ell^-\gamma\gamma$ events with…

The $ZZ\gamma$ triple neutral gauge couplings are absent in the Standard Model (SM) at the tree level. They receive no contributions from dimension-6 effective operators, but can arise from effective operators of dimension-8. We study the…
The energy available for gamma(*)gamma(*) physics at LEP2 is opening a new window on the study of diffractive phenomena, both non-perturbative and perturbative. We discuss some of the uncertainties and problems connected with the…
The complementarity of $e^+e^-$ and $\gamma \gamma$ colliders to discover and explore new physics beyond the Standard Model(SM) is discussed. After briefly surveying a number of various new physics scenarios we concentrate in detail on…
Recently, the L3 collaboration has reported the observation of four events in the reactions e+ e- --> L+ L- + (2 Photons), L = e, mu, tau, with the invariant photon pair mass near 60 GeV in a data sample collected in the L3 detector…
In its second phase, LEP has given the unique opportunity to study four fermion processes never observed before. This papers deals with a preliminary study of $WW$, $We\nu$, $ZZ$ and $Z\gamma^\star$ production in $e^+e^-$ collisions.…
A multi-Higgs model with an extra neutral gauge boson ($Z'$) is introduced. One scalar Higgs boson ($H_2$) in this model decays dominantly into a photon pair. The $Z'$ decay to $\mu^+\mu^-$ gets a much larger branching ratio than the $Z$…
We study the potential for using $e\gamma$\ collisions produced by backscattered laser photons to investigate WW$\gamma$\ couplings. We present results for Next Linear Collider energies of 500 GeV and 1 TeV. We find that where statistics…
We consider implications of the diphoton excess recently observed at the LHC on the anomalous magnetic dipole moment of the muon $(g-2)_\mu = 2 a_\mu$, hypothesizing that the possible 750 GeV resonance is a (pseudo)scalar particle. The…
We present a measurement of the Z\gamma production cross section and limits on anomalous ZZ\gamma and Z\gamma\gamma couplings for form-factor scales of Lambda = 750 and 1000 GeV. The measurement is based on 138 (152) candidate events in the…
In this paper we investigate a natural extension of the Standard Model that involves varying coupling constants. This is a general expectation in any fundamental theory such as string theory, and there are good reasons for why new physics…
While the $S_3$ scalar leptoquark presents a possible tree-level explanation of the $b \to s \ell \ell$ flavour anomalies, it suffers from two conceptual problems which are often disregarded by model-builders. Firstly, the quantum numbers…
In theories with gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking, the scalar tau, (${\tilde \tau_1}$) is the lightest superpartner for a large range of the parameter space. At the large electron positron collider (LEP 2) this scenario can give rise…
We study the sensitivity of anomalous $ZZ\gamma$ and $Z\gamma\gamma$ vertex couplings $h_3^{\gamma,Z}$ and $h_4^{\gamma,Z}$, which would be powerful sign of new physics, via the subprocess $\gamma q\to Z q$ of the main reaction $pp\to…
