I will argue why and how it is that precise measurements of the self-couplings of the weak vector bosons are a vista on the mechanism of symmetry breaking. Guided by what we have learnt from the present precision data, it is suggested which…
Dynamical symmetry breaking provides a possible solution to the electroweak hierarchy problem. It requires new strong interactions that are effective at some high-energy scale. If there is no light Higgs boson, this scale is constrained to…
The theoretical structure of the Higgs sector of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) is briefly described. An outline of Higgs phenomenology at future lepton colliders is presented, and some opportunities for probing the…
Higgs mechanism of EWSB can be realized in both well known minimal model and with more complex non-minimal Higgs models. These non-minimal models contain new Higgs bosons -- neutral $h_a$ and charged $H_b^\pm$. Necessary step in the…
One item on the agenda of future colliders is certain to be the Higgs boson. What is it trying to tell us? The primary objective of any future collider must surely be to identify physics beyond the Standard Model, and supersymmetry is one…
The physics programme of high energy e+e- linear colliders relies on the accurate identification of fermions in order to study in details the profile of the Higgs boson, search for new particles and probe the multi-TeV mass region by means…
There are many possibilities for new physics beyond the Standard Model that feature non-standard Higgs sectors. These may introduce new sources of CP violation, and there may be mixing between multiple Higgs bosons or other new scalar…

The basic aim of physics studies at the LHC is to unravel the mechanism responsible for the spontaneous symmetry breaking in the Standard Model (SM). In the currently accepted theoretical picture, this translates into finding `direct'…
For more than 30 years [1], gamma-gamma and gamma-electron photon colliders have been considered a natural addition to e+e- linear-collider projects. Following the recent discovery of the Higgs boson, the physics community has been actively…

The physics prospect at future linear $e^+e^-$ colliders for the study of the Higgs triple self-coupling via the process of $e^+e^-$ $\rightarrow Zhh$ is investigated. The measurement of this cross section leads us to the first non-trivial…
These lectures provide a concise introduction to the so-called "Beyond the Standard Model"' physics, with particular emphasis on the problem of the microscopic origin of the Higgs mass term and of the Electro-Weak symmetry breaking scale in…
We perform a preliminary study of the deviations from the Standard Model prediction for the cross section for the process $e \gamma \rightarrow \nu_e W \gamma$. We work in the context of a higgsless chiral lagrangian model that includes an…
