The LHC search strategies for leptoquarks that couple dominantly to a top quark are different than for the ones that couple mostly to the light quarks. We consider charge $1/3$ ($\phi_1$) and $5/3$ ($\phi_5$) scalar leptoquarks that can…
We calculate the cross sections for the single production of doubly-charged dileptons, both scalar and vector, at $e^+e^-$, $e\gamma$ and $\gamma\gamma$ colliders at $\sqrt{s}=500$ GeV and 1 TeV. The $e\gamma$ mode is by far the most…
We consider the pair production of vector-like down-type quarks in an $E_6$ motivated model, where each of the produced down-type vector-like quark decays into an ordinary Standard Model light quark and a singlet scalar. Both the…
The search reaches for both scalar($S$) and vector($V$) leptoquarks at future hadron colliders are summarized. In particular we evaluate the production cross sections of both leptoquark types at TeV33 and LHC as well as the proposed 60 and…
Results on a search for pair production of second generation scalar leptoquark in $p \bar{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$=1.96 TeV are reported. The data analyzed were collected by the CDF detector during the 2002-2003 Tevatron Run II and…
Leptoquarks arise naturally in models attempting the unification of the quark and lepton sectors of the standard model of particle physics. Such particles could be produced in the interaction of high energy quasi-horizontal cosmic neutrinos…
Two photon processes are a wonderful by-product of an $e^+e^-$ collider at any energy. Two photon reactions probe the very structure of matter. A machine operating below 2 GeV has the potential to reveal the Higgs sector of the strong…
A high-energy lepton-lepton collider will give us a unique possibility to study e-gamma and gamma-gamma interactions at high energies. The high-energy photons can be generated by Compton back-scattering of laser light on the high-energy…
We report the results of a search for pair production of scalar bottom quarks (sbottom) and scalar third-generation leptoquarks in 5.2 fb-1 of ppbar collisions at the D0 experiment of the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. Scalar bottom quarks are…
In this paper we describe the calculation of the process e+e- -> Z/gamma -> QQbar + X, where Q is a heavy quark, at order alpha_s^2.
We investigate the single top quark production with the exchange of unparticles through high energy photon-photon collision $\gamma \gamma\to t \bar c$. The effects of unparticles on the scattering cross sections for different polarization…
We present the cross section for pair production of scalar leptoquarks $LQ$ in $p\bar{p}$ collisions, $p+\bar{p} \to LQ + \bar{LQ} + X$, at the Fermilab Tevatron in next-to-leading order QCD. Including the higher-order corrections…
Scalar partners of quarks and leptons, predicted in supersymmetric models, are searched for in e^+e^- collisions at centre-of-mass energies between 192GeV and 209GeV at LEP. No evidence for any such particle is found in a data sample of 450…
We consider the electromagnetic production of positron in collision of heavy nuclei, with the simultaneously produced electron captured by one of the nuclei. This cross-section exceeds by about four orders of magnitude the cross-section of…
There are two strong arguments in favor of vector-like leptons and quarks: Flavor Democracy call for them, and E6 GUT predicts existence of iso-singlet quarks and iso-doublet leptons. Vector-like quarks (VLQ) are extensively searched by…
We argue that a hidden-charm pentaquark recently observed in weak decays of $\Lambda_{b}$ can be produced in proton-nucleus collisions without electroweak intermediaries. We analyze the production cross-section for several scenarios of…
We introduce a novel mechanism for the leptoquark pair production at LHC that is of a $t$-channel topology and is quark-quark initiated. This mechanism operates under fairly general conditions. One of them is that the two leptoquarks in…
A search for leptoquark pair production decaying into $te^- \bar{t}e^+$ or $t\mu^- \bar{t}\mu^+$ in final states with multiple leptons is presented. The search is based on a dataset of $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$=13 TeV recorded with the…
We calculate the high energy behavior of quark-antiquark exchange in $\gamma^* \gamma^*$ elastic scattering by summing, to all orders, the leading double logarithmic contributions of the QCD ladder diagrams. Motivation comes from the LEP…
We investigate the charged scalar lepton production processes $\gamma\gamma\to{\widetilde{\ell}}^{+}{\widetilde{\ell}}^{-}$ at high energy $\gamma\gamma$ colliders in the framework of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). Here…
