A new Abelian gauge symmetry U(1)' is well motivated to extend the standard model or supersymmetric standard model. Leptonic Z' resonances are clean signals even at the hadron colliders. We discuss how 4-lepton and 6-lepton Z' resonances…

Heavy resonances appearing in the clean Drell-Yan channel may be the first new physics to be observed at the proton-proton CERN LHC. If a new resonance is discovered at the LHC as a peak in the dilepton invariant mass distribution, the…

Longitudinal weak gauge boson scattering has been well known as a powerful method to probe the underlying mechanism of the electroweak symmetry breaking sector of the Standard Model. We point out that longitudinal weak gauge boson…
We calculate the Coulomb effects on the cross section for e+ e- --> W+ W- taking into account the instability of the W bosons. We carefully explain the consequences of instability throughout the energy range which will be accessible at…
The Two-Gluon Model of the Pomeron predicts strongly size-dependent high-energy hadron cross sections. Yet experimental cross sections for radially excited mesons appear surprisingly close in value. The strong coupling of these mesons in…
In this paper, we explore the discriminatory power of the matrix element method (MEM) in constraining the $L_\mu-L_\tau$ model at the LHC. The $Z'$ gauge boson associated with the spontaneously broken $U(1)_{L_\mu-L_\tau}$ symmetry only…
We explore the potential of future high-energy lepton colliders to probe heavy vector resonances. At wakefield colliders, intense beam-beam interactions produce radiation, called beamstrahlung, which redistributes luminosity from the…
We investigate the existence of anomalous Higgs boson couplings, $H\gamma\gamma$ and $HZ\gamma$, through the analysis of the process $e^+ e^- \to \gamma\gamma\gamma$ at LEP2 energies. We suggest some kinematical cuts to improve the signal…
Higgs-strahlung $e^+e^-\to ZH$ and $WW$ fusion $e^+e^-\to\bar\nu_e\nu_e H$ are the most important mechanisms for the production of Higgs bosons in $e^+e^-$ collisions at LEP2 and future $e^+e^-$ linear colliders. We have calculated the…

Several current measurements of $b \rightarrow s l^+ l^-$ processes are in tension with Standard Model predictions, whereas others (e.g.\ $R_K$ and $R_{K^\ast}$) are in reasonable agreement with them. We examine some recent $Z^\prime$…
The neural network approach is applied to search for the Z'-boson within the LEP2 data set for e+ e- -> e+ e- scattering process. In the course of the analysis, the data set is reduced by 20 percent. The axial-vector and vector couplings of…
