We consider single production of leptoquarks (LQ's) at $e^+e^-$ and $\gamma\gamma$ colliders, for two values of the centre-of-mass energy, $\sqrt{s}=500$ GeV and 1 TeV. We find that LQ's which couple within the first generation are…
Results are presented from a search for the pair production of third-generation scalar and vector leptoquarks, as well as for top squarks in R-parity-violating supersymmetric models. In either scenario, the new, heavy particle decays into a…
Leptoquarks can be produced in substantial numbers for masses very close to the collider centre of mass energy in $e^+e^-$, $e\gamma$, and $\mu^+\mu^-$ collisions due to the quark content of the photon resulting in equivalently high…

Light scalars that couple to leptons are common figures in beyond the Standard Model endeavors. Considering a scalar that has universal and couplings to leptons only, we compute this leptophilic scalar contribution to the $e^{-}e^{+}…
Limits are set on the pair production of scalar leptoquarks, where all possible decays of the leptoquark into a quark ($t$, $b$) and a lepton ($\tau$, $\nu$) of the third generation are considered. The limits are presented as a function of…

In this manuscript, I give a short summary on scenarios with new physics scalars that could be investigated at future $e^+e^-$ colliders. I concentrate on cases where at least one of the additional scalar has a mass below 125 GeV, and…
We investigate the potential to measure the electro-weak couplings of scalar leptoquarks $\Phi_s$ at TESLA for energies in the range of $\sqrt{s} \simeq 1 \TeV$ using the pair production process $e^+e^- \to \Phi_s \bar{\Phi}_s$.
