We examine the ability of future facilities to discover and interpret non-supersymmetric new phenomena. We first explore explicit manifestations of new physics, including extended gauge sectors, leptoquarks, exotic fermions, and technicolor…
Majorana neutrino mass models with a scale of lepton number violation (LNV) of order TeV potentially lead to signals at the LHC. Here, we consider an extension of the standard model with a coloured octet fermion and a scalar leptoquark.…
We describe an effective theory of interaction between pairs of dark matter particles and pairs of photons. Such an interaction could accomodate $\chi\bar{\chi}\rightarrow\gamma\gamma$ processes which might be the cause of the observed…
Polarization of strange quarks is preserved to a high degree when they hadronize into Lambda baryons, as observed in Z decays at LEP. This opens up the possibility for ATLAS and CMS to use strange-quark polarization measurements as a…
We have directly measured the ZZ-gamma and Z-gamma-gamma couplings by studying p pbar --> l+ l- gamma + X, (l = e, mu) events at the CM energy of 1.8$ TeV with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. A fit to the transverse…
A few binary systems display High Energy (100 MeV - 100 GeV) and/or Very High Energy (> 100 GeV) gamma-ray emission. These systems also display non-thermal radio emission that can be resolved with long-baseline radio interferometers,…
If the Technicolor omega_T particle exists, a likely decay mode is omega_T -> gamma pi_T, followed by pi_T -> bb-bar, yielding the signature gamma bb-bar. We have searched 85 pb^-1 of data collected by the CDF experiment at the Fermilab…
In this note we assess the validity and uncertainties in the predictions of the eikonalised mini-jet model for $\sigma^{inel}_{\gamma \gamma}$. We are able to find a choice of parameters where the predictions are compatible with the current…
A quantum theory of the third-harmonic generation in graphene is presented. An analytical formula for the nonlinear conductivity tensor $\sigma^{(3)}_{\alpha\beta\gamma\delta}(\omega,\omega,\omega)$ is derived. Resonant maxima of the third…
In this proceedings we briefly report on the state-of-the-art NLO QCD computation for the $pp\to t\bar{t}\gamma$ process in the di-lepton channel. We describe higher-order corrections to the $e^+\nu_e \, \mu^- \bar{\nu}_\mu \,…
As the largest gravitationally bound objects in the Universe, galaxy clusters have provided the first piece of evidence for the presence of dark matter and may be suitable targets for indirect dark matter searches. Among various signals,…
We present a numerical estimate of the $\gamma^* \gamma^*$ total cross section at LEP and at the designed $e^+e^-$ Next Linear Collider (NLC), based upon the BFKL Pomeron. We find for the linear collider that the event rate is substantial…
The meaningful specific anisotropy in the angle distribution of leptons with respect to the three-momentum of pair is predicted as a feasibility signature of synchrotron-like mechanism resulting from the quarks interacting with a collective…
The research documents the impact of a teaching experiment designed in order to make students consider not only the spectral composition of light but also its intensity when they interpret colour phenomena. The analysis of eight recorded…
We review the status of theoretical predictions for W-pair production at high energies. We discuss a systematic scenario towards a Monte-Carlo generator for e^+e^- --> 4f(\gamma), which meets the experimental requirements. In particular we…
This selection concentrates more on $\gamma \gamma$ results, with some reference to the related HERA photoproduction data. Progress has been made on a wide range of topics, from $F_{2}^{\gamma}$ to the ``stickiness'' of glueball candidates,…
Most general tbW couplings were investigated in the process \gamma \gamma -> ttbar -> l^{+-} X for unpolarized photon beams. The double angular and energy distribution of the lepton was calculated and an optimal-observable analysis on it…
We consider a TeV scale see-saw mechanism leading to light scalar resonances in models with otherwise intrinsically heavy scalars. The mechanism can provide a 125 GeV technicolor Higgs in e.g. two-scale TC models
The aim of this note is to characterize briefly main components of theoretical error of the small angle Bhabha measurement at LEP and to discuss critically how solid these estimates really are, from todays perspective. We conclude that the…
Ga$_2$O$_3$ and its polymorphs are attracting increasing attention. The rich structural space of polymorphic oxide systems such as Ga$_2$O$_3$ offers potential for electronic structure engineering, which is of particular interest for a…
