The study of strong symmetry breaking at an e+e linear collider with sqrt(s)=0.5-1.5 TeV is reviewed. It is shown that processes such as e+e- --> nu nubar W+ W-, e+e- --> nu nubar t tbar, and and e+e- --> W+ W- can be used to measure chiral…

We consider the possibility of detecting vector resonances from a strong electroweak sector, in the framework of the BESS model, at future $e^+ e^-$ colliders up to the TeV range. If the mass $M_V$ of the new vector boson multiplet is not…
The idea of a strongly interacting sector as responsible for the electroweak symmetry breaking is tested through an effective lagrangian description, called the BESS model, constructed on the standing point of custodial symmetry and gauge…

Any consideration of future physics facilities must be made in the context of the Tevatron and the LHC. I discuss some examples of physics results which could emerge from these machines and the resulting questions which would remain for a…
We discuss the mechanism for electroweak symmetry breaking in supersymmetric versions of the standard model. After briefly reviewing the possible sources of supersymmetry breaking, we show how the required pattern of symmetry breaking can…
The studies of the electroweak symmetry breaking sector (EWSBS) at $\gamma\gamma$ colliders were considered previously in the loop processes of $\gamma\gamma \to w_Lw_L,\,z_Lz_L$, but they are suffered from the huge $W_T W_T$ and $Z_TZ_T$…

We review the theory of Higgs bosons, with emphasis on the Higgs scalars of the Standard Model and its non-supersymmetric and supersymmetric extensions. After surveying the expected knowledge of Higgs boson physics after the Tevatron and…
