We extend to the special case of Bhabha scattering the "Z-peak subtracted" representation previously applied to e+e- to f f(bar) (f different from e). This allows us to analyze the process at any energy while imposing in an automatic way…
The vanishing of the cross section for particular points in phase space - radiation zeros - is examined for the process $ q \bar q \to W^+W^- \gamma$ at high energy. For photon energies that are not too large, the cross section does exhibit…
For the processes e+e-\to \mu+\mu-, \tau+\tau-, b\bar{b} and c\bar{c} at a future e+e- collider with \sqrt{s}=0.5 TeV, we examine the sensitivity of the helicity cross sections to four-fermion contact interactions. If longitudinal…
We show that in e-e+ colliders at energies above the Z-peak, the process e-e+ to b b(bar) becomes very sensitive to the presence of residual New Physics (NP) effects described by the dim=6 SU(3)*SU(2)*U(1) gauge invariant operators O(qW),…

Top physics provides a fertile ground for new-physics searches. At present, most top observables appear to be in good agreement with the respective Standard Model predictions. However, in the case of decay modes that are suppressed in the…
The vanishing of the cross section for particular points in phase space - radiation zeros - is examined for the process $ q \bar q \to W^+W^- \gamma$ at high energy. Unlike the process $q \bar q' \to W^\pm \gamma$, actual zeros only occur…
We show how B -> pi pi decays can be used to search for new physics in the b -> d flavour-changing neutral current. One needs one piece of theoretical input, which we take to be a prediction for P/T, the ratio of the penguin and tree…
In this paper the potential for the discovery of new physics in the exclusive decay $\bar{B}_d \to \bar{K}^{*0} \mu^+ \mu^-$ is discussed. Attention is paid to constructing observables which are protected from uncertainties in QCD form…
New observables for searching for Z' virtual states in processes e^+e^-\to\bar{f}f are proposed. They are based on the relations following due to renormalizability of an underlying theory between the parameters of the low-energy effective…
A new method to extract the density of partition function zeroes (a continuous function) from their distribution for finite lattices (a discrete data set) is presented. This allows direct determination of the order and strength of phase…
We investigate the sensitivity to new physics of the process e+e- -> t bar{t} when the top polarization is analyzed using leptonic final states e+e- -> t \bar{t} -> l+l- b \bar{b} nu_l \bar{nu}_l. We first show that the kinematical…
The inverse amplitude method has previously been successfully applied to $\pi\pi$ scattering in order to extend the range of applicability of chiral perturbation theory. However, in order to take the chiral zeros into account…
Using recent BABAR, CMD-3 and SND data, the sum of $e^+e^- \to 3(\pi^+\pi^-), 2(\pi^+\pi^-\pi^0), p\bar{p}, n\bar{n}$ cross sections is obtained. Unlike $e^+e^- \to 3(\pi^+\pi^-)$ and $e^+e^- \to 2(\pi^+\pi^-\pi^0)$ processes, no structures…
