The four-fermion contact-interaction searches in the process $e^+e^-\to\mu^+\mu^-$ at a future $e^+e^-$ Linear Collider with c.m. energy $\sqrt{s}=0.5$ TeV and with both beams longitudinally polarized are studied. We evaluate the…
Spin correlations are carefully investigated in elastic $e^{+}e^{-}$ scattering in QED, for initially \textit{polarized} as well as \textit{unpolarized} particles, with emphasis placed on energy or speed of the underlying particles involved…
In this work the $e^{+}e^{-}\to l^{+}l^{-}$ scattering process is investigated. The cross-section is calculated considering three different effects: temperature, external magnetic field and chemical potential. The effect due to an external…

In this report I surveyed physics potential of the gamma-gamma option of a Linear e+e- Collider with the following questions in mind: What new discovery can be expected at a gamma-gamma collider in addition to what will be learned at its…
This working group report focuses on the physics potential of $\mu^+\mu^-$ colliders beyond what can be accomplished at linear $e^+e^-$ colliders and the LHC. Particularly interesting possibilities include (i)~$s$-channel resonance…
We study the production of composite scalar leptoquarks in $e\gamma$ colliders, and we show that an $e^+e^-$ machine operating in its $e\gamma$ mode is the best way to look for these particles in $e^+e^-$ collisions, due to the hadronic…
We describe the anticipated experimental program of an e+e- linear collider in the energy range 500 GeV -- 1.5 TeV. We begin with a description of current collider designs and the expected experimental environment. We then discuss precision…
The anticipated physics program at an high energy e+e- linear collider places special emphasis on the accuracy in extrapolating charged particle tracks to their production vertex to tag heavy quarks and leptons. This paper reviews physics…

Many types of new physics can lead to contact interaction-like modifications in $e^+e^-$ processes below direct production threshold. This report summarizes a survey of contact interaction search reaches at the Linear Collider as functions…
We review some collider phenomenology of unparticle physics, including real emissions and virtual exchanges of unparticle. Existing experimental constraints from collider physics as well as astrophysics are briefly discussed.
Selectrons may be studied in both e-e- and e+e- collisions at future linear colliders. Relative to e+e-, the e-e- mode benefits from negligible backgrounds and \beta threshold behavior for identical selectron pair production, but suffers…
The total cross section for scattering virtual photons at high energy is sensitive to pomeron physics. If the photons are sufficiently virtual, QCD perturbation theory applies, so that the reaction probes the short distance pomeron. We…

We review some recent studies about the parameter determination of top quarks, W bosons, Higgs bosons, supersymmetric particles and in the ADD model of extra dimensions at a linear collider.
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…

Several models predict the existence of new resonances in the multi-TeV region, which should be accessible in e+e- collisions by s-channel production. In this paper, we review the phenomenology of some specific models and we present a…
We summarize some of the main physics questions that will serve to define the linear e+e- collider program, and comment on issues that confront the world community in making such a collider a reality.
