We present a phenomenological constraint on a pseudovector light boson beyond the Standard Model, which can induce a long-range spin-dependent interaction $\alpha^{\prime\prime}({\bf s}_1\cdot{\bf s}_2)\,{\rm e}^{-\lambda r}/r$. In the…
We consider an $SU(3)_L\otimes U(1)_N$ model for the electroweak interactions which includes extra charged leptons which do not mix with the known leptons. These new leptons couple to $Z^0$ only through vector currents. We consider…

Measurements of neutral current processes off the $Z$-peak are sensitive probes of new interactions, which may be induced by the exchange of new particles such as leptoquarks or extra $Z$'s. This talk reviews the phenomenology of extra…

We review the techniques necessary for the calculation of virtual electroweak and soft photonic corrections at the one-loop level. In particular we describe renormalization, calculation of one-loop integrals and evaluation of one-loop…
Fermion compositness, and other new physics which can be described by an exchange of very massive particles ($Z^\prime$ boson, leptoquarks, sparticles with R-parity violating couplings), can be manifest itself as the presence of a strong…
We study the bounds that can be obtained on four-fermion contact terms from the experimental data for (e+ p -> \bar{nu} X) obtained at HERA and (p \bar{p} -> e \nu), measured at TEVATRON. We compare these bounds with the ones available in…
Strong rescattering corrections to one-loop contributions to the parameters of the standard electroweak model are considered.
It has been shown that CP violating electron-nucleon and nucleon-nucleon interactions can induce atomic electric dipole moments and are therefore constrained from experimental data. We show that using the experimental upper bounds on…
We reconsider the bounds on non-standard neutrino interactions with matter which can be derived by constraining the four-charged-lepton operators induced at the loop level. We find that these bounds are model dependent. Naturalness…
We study the constraints that can be placed on anomalous $\tau$-lepton couplings at the LHC. We use an effective Lagrangian description for physics beyond the standard model which contains the $\tau$-lepton anomalous magnetic moment,…
