We study the signals for a heavy Higgs boson in the processes $\gamma\gamma\to WWWW$, $\gamma\gamma\to WWZZ$ at the photon linear collider. The results are based on the first complete tree level calculation for these reactions. Using a…
We explore the possibility that physics at the TeV scale possesses approximate $N = 2$ supersymmetry, which is reduced to the $N=1$ minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM) at the electroweak scale. This doubling of…
Recent observations of the TeV gamma-ray spectra of the two closest active galactic nuclei (AGNs), Markarian 501 (Mrk 501) and Markarian 421 (Mrk 421), by the Whipple and HEGRA collaborations have stimulated efforts to estimate or limit the…
Ultrahigh energy protons and nuclei from extragalactic cosmic ray sources initiate intergalactic electromagnetic cascades, resulting in observable fluxes of $\gamma$-rays in the GeV-TeV energy domain. The total spectrum of such cascade…
Considering the physics potential of an e-e- collider in the TeV energy range, we indicate a few interesting examples for exotic processes and discuss the standard model backgrounds. Focussing on pair production of weak gauge bosons, we…
Large extra dimension effects on the spin configuration of the top quark pair at the $e^+ e^-\to t\bar{t}$ process are studied. It is shown that the TeV scale quantum gravity effects cause significant deviations from the Standard Model…
In the context of the littlest Higgs (LH) model, we consider the Higgs strahlung process $e^{+}e^{-}\to ZH $. We find that the correction effects on this process mainly come from the heavy photon $B'$. If we take the mixing angle parameter…
Unification at M_{GUT}\sim 3\times 10^{16} GeV of the three Standard Model (SM) gauge couplings can be achieved by postulating the existence of a pair of vectorlike fermions carrying SM charges and masses of order 300 GeV -- 1 TeV. The…
We systematically discuss the consequences of genuine dimension-six Higgs operators. These operators are not subject to stringent constraints from electroweak precision data. However, they can modify the couplings of the Higgs boson to…
We present a calculation of the cross section for the process e+ e- --> W+/- H-/+ in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) and the Two Higgs Doublet Model (THDM). We study the basic features of the MSSM prediction for some…
The gamma-ray annihilation and decay products of very heavy dark matter particles can undergo attenuation through pair production, leading to the development of electromagnetic cascades. This has a significant impact not only on the…
We study the $l^-l^+\to \nu\bar{\nu}Zh$ process for future lepton colliders, whose cross section becomes larger than that for $l^-l^+\to Zh$ in the energy region above a few TeV. We classify the amplitudes into three main groups based on…
A possible supersymmetric interpretation of the new Higgs-like 126 GeV resonance involves a high sfermion mass scale, from tens of TeV to a PeV or above. This scale provides sufficiently large loop corrections to the Higgs mass and can…
We present a set of studies concerning the description of New Physics (NP) effects caracterized by a scale much higher than the electroweak scale. We show that both present experimental results and several types of theretical considerations…
We study the sensitivity of $ e \gamma$ colliders to physics beyond the Standard Model, when such interactions are natural and their scale lies below the collider energy. Using the reaction $ e \gamma \to b t \nu$ as a specific example, we…
The non-decoupling effects of heavy Higgs bosons on the process $e^+e^- \to W^+_LW^-_L$ are discussed in the two Higgs-doublet model. The one-loop corrections to the cross section are calculated by using the equivalence theorem and the…
The search for physics beyond the Standard Model motivates new high-energy accelerators, which will require high luminosities in order to produce interesting new heavy particles. Using the Higgs boson and supersymmetry as examples, we…
It is shown that in a large class of E(6) models, either an e+e- collider operating at $\rs \geq 1.5$ TeV must find a signal for the production of exotic leptons, or a collider operating at $\rs \geq 300$ GeV must find at least one light…
We discuss two novel possibilities in Higgs physics. The first is that, by adding a real Higgs triplet to the Standard Model, it is possible for the lightest Higgs boson to be as heavy as 500 GeV without any fine tuning. The second,…
We discuss both MSSM and NMSSM scenarios in which the lightest Higgs boson with $m_h=98$~GeV is consistent with the small excess ($\sim 2.3 \sigma$) observed at the LEP in $e^+ e^-\rightarrow Zh$, with $h \rightarrow b {\bar b}$ process and…
