In this paper we do an analysis of the reaction $e^+e^-\to W^+W^-$ for various options of the Next Linear Colliders (NLC), by considering the possibility of deviations from the Standard Model induced by anomalous trilinear vector boson…
We test the assumption that fermion-loop corrections to high energy $W^+W^-$ scattering are negligible when compared to the boson-loop ones. Indeed, we find that, if the couplings of the interactions deviate from their Standard Model…
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…

Large back-to-back correlations of observable fermion -- anti-fermion pairs are predicted to appear, if the mass of the fermions is modified in a thermalized medium. The back-to-back correlations of protons and anti-protons are…

We test exact and approximate Ginsparg-Wilson fermions with respect to their chiral and scaling behavior in the 2-flavor Schwinger model. We first consider explicit approximate GW fermions in a short range, then we proceed to their chiral…
By comparison of the quenched and full formulations of compact QED with Wilson fermions we single out the effects of dynamical fermions on the `chiral transition line' within the confinement phase. It is shown that this line cannot…
Our aim is to test a model recently presented, motivated by the reported $R_b$ and $R_c$ ``crisis", which contains extra vector fermions. We suggest an alternative indirect test of the possible existence of new heavy quark flavours at the…
We study the incidence of genuine quartic vector boson couplings in the reactions e-e- -> e-e-ZZ, e-\nu ZW, \nu\nu WW. We find that a linear collider operated in the e-e- mode will provide bounds on these couplings which are competitive…
