Spin observables may reveal much deeper properties of non perturbative hadronic physics than unpolarized quantities. We discuss the polarization of hadrons produced in $e^+e^-$ annihilation at LEP. We show how final state $q \bar q$…
We explore the phenomenology of new R-parity violating operators that can occur in E6 models. The set of allowed operators is found to depend sensitively on the nature of the extension of the standard model gauge group. These new…
The prospects of physics beyond the standard model in deep inelastic scattering are reviewed, emphasizing the search for contact interactions, for leptoquarks and for supersymmetry with R-parity violation. R-parity violating supersymmetry…
We investigate the discovery potential for first generation leptoquarks at the LEP200 $e^+e^-$ collider. We consider direct leptoquark searches using single leptoquark production via resolved photon contributions which offers a much higher…
Virtual leptoquarks could be detected at HERA through some nonstandard effects. Here we explore the possibility that virtual leptoquarks could be discovered via $e u --> e c$ scattering, assuming integrated luminosity of 200 pb$^{-1}$ and…
At $e^+e^-$ and $ep$ colliders, the large fluxes of almost on-shell photons accompanying the lepton beams lead to the photoproduction of jets. As the centre-of-mass energy is increased, regions of smaller $x$ in the parton densities are…
We derive the low-energy electroweak effective lagrangian for the case of additional heavy, unmixed, sequential fermions. Present LEP1 data still allow for the presence of a new quark and/or lepton doublet with masses greater than $M_Z/2$,…
We review the physics involved in the production and decay of top quarks in e^+e^- -> ttbar near threshold, with special emphasis on the recent theoretical study on the decay process of top quarks in the threshold region. The energy-angular…
The reaction mechanisms of the following proton diffractive scattering processes are studied and compared with one another: $\gamma^* p\to Vp,\gamma^* p\to Xp, pp\to (\Lambda K^+)p$ and $pA\to \Lambda K^+A$ (Here, $\gamma^*$ stands for the…
A search for pair-produced leptoquarks is performed using e+e- collision events collected by the OPAL detector at LEP at centre-of-mass energies between 189 and 209 GeV. The data sample corresponds to a total integrated luminosity of 596…
Quark-hadron duality addresses some of the most fundamental issues in strong interaction physics, in particular the nature of the transition from the perturbative to non-perturbative regions of QCD. I summarize recent developments in…
Total hadron multiplicities and multiplicities of hadrons in events with heavy quarks in $e^+e^-$ annihilation at the energies of LEP-1.5 and LEP-2 are calculated on the basis of QCD.
We explore the possibility of employing e+e- colliders to probe the scotogenic model, in which neutrinos get mass radiatively via one-loop interactions involving dark matter. Assuming the lightest one of the new particles in the model to be…
We consider new s-channel scalar exchanges in e+e- -> ZZ,W+W- in supersymmetry with a small lepton number violation. We show that a small bilinear R-parity violating term which leads to sneutrino--Higgs mixing can give rise to a significant…
If sneutrinos are the lightest supersymmetry partners and $R$-parity is not conserved, the process $e^+e^- \to \tilde {\bar\nu} \tilde {\nu}$ can have striking signatures due to the decay modes $\tilde{\nu}\to\ell^+\ell'^-$ or…
We reexamine the contact interaction hypothesis for excess high-$Q^2$ events seen at HERA in $e^+ p \to e^+ X$ scattering. We consider the most general structure of contact interactions insisting on $SU(3)_C\times SU(2)_L \times U(1)_Y$…
In this talk I summarize the capability of future lepton colliders to discover leptoquarks and to determine their electroweak quantum numbers. This analysis is an updated discussion based on the results presented in the Snowmass 1996 New…
