We classify the possible deviations from the Standard Model in the QED-dominated $\mathrm{e^+e^-}\rightarrow\gamma\gamma$ process under the assumption of a preserved $SU(2)_L \times U(1)_Y$ symmetry. We find that the only deviations really…

Two photons can annihilate into a neutral pion-like resonance via the anomaly coupling, just like $\pi^0\gamma\gamma$ in QCD. In some strongly interacting electroweak symmetry breaking models, e.g., technicolor type models, there often…

We study the production of gauge boson pairs at the next generation of linear $e^+e^-$ colliders operating in the $e\gamma$ mode. The processes $e\gamma \rightarrow VV^\prime F$ ($V,V^\prime =W$, $Z$, or $\gamma$ and $F=e$ or $\nu$) can…
We investigate the signal $\gamma\gamma$ + missing energy in a high-energy linear $e^+e^-$ collider, with a view to differentiating between gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking and the conventional supersymmetric models. Prima facie, there…
We argue that the Standard Model is accompanied by a new pseudo-scalar degree of freedom, $\eta_{\rm w}$-meson, which cancels the topological susceptibility of the electroweak vacuum and gets its mass from this effect. The prediction is…

The measurement of Standard Model processes tests the validity of the model at a given scale and is simultaneously sensitive to new physics through loop effects or interference with the Standard Model amplitudes. A variety of studies has…
