At this time, the design of the International Linear Collider (ILC) is optimized for e+e- collisions; the photon collider (gamma-gamma and gamma-electron) is considered as an option. Unexpected discoveries, such as the diphoton excess F(750…
Cosmic-rays with energies up to $3\times10^{20}$ eV have been observed, as have as have astrophysical neutrinos with energies above 1 PeV. In this talk, I will discuss some of the unique phenomena that occur when particles with TeV energies…
A complete optics design for the 2mrad crossing angle interaction region and extraction line was presented at Snowmass 2005. Since this time, the design task force has been working on developing and improving the performance of the…
In everyday research, it is tacitly assumed that the scattering cross-sections have fixed values for the given particle species, centre-of-mass energy, and particle polarizations. However, this assumption has been called into question after…
A remarkable number of studies have been performed at LEP in the field of two-photon physics in the last four years. These results represent a very important contribution to the understanding of strong interactions at low energies. In…

A survey of physical parameters and of a ladder of various regimes of laser-matter interactions at extreme intensities is given. Special emphases is made on three selected topics: (i) qualitative derivation of the scalings for probability…
The formulation of hybrid crossing angle schemes has been a recent development of the TESLA collision geometry debate. Here we report on two such schemes, characterised by either a small vertical or horizontal beam crossing angle.
Interest in highly-compressed electron beams has been increasing in recent times, driven by the study of non-linear and even non-perturbative aspects of QED [2]. The FACET-II [7] facility at SLAC is currently (at the time of writing) being…
Ultra-peripheral collisions of relativistic heavy ions involve long-ranged electromagnetic interactions at impact parameters too large for hadronic interactions to occur. The nuclear charges are large; with the coherent enhancement, the…
At a linear collider of the next generation the large event rates expected from Bhabha and M\o ller scattering may be used to determine simultaneously sin^2\theta_w and the polarization of both beams with very high accuracy. These…
The idea of plasma suppression of beam-beam effects at muon colliders is discussed. It is shown that one should take into account collisions in the plasma that were ignored before. Rough estimates show that this effect leads to a fast…
The Belle II detector at the SuperKEKB accelerator complex is covering a wide range of exciting physics topics. To achieve the project's research goals, a substantial increase of the data sample to 50~ab$^{-1}$ is needed, and for that, the…
At the International Linear Collider (ILC), measurement of the beam profile at the interaction point (IP) is a key issue to achieve high luminosity. We studied the beam size measurement by combination of Pair Monitor and BeamCal. We…

A high-level beam background is a crucial challenge to future upgrades to the BEPCII collider. We report on the first separate measurement of the main beam background components at BEPCII. The separation measurement enables the beam…
In high energy physics, the luminosity is one useful value to characterize the performance of a particle collider. To gain more available data, we need to maximize the luminosity in most collider experiments. With the discussions of tune…
We present a study of high-$\beta$* optics configurations at Interaction Point 2 (IP2) of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), developed to enable forward and diffractive physics measurements with the ALICE experiment during Runs 3 and 4. Using…
As two counter-rotating beams interact they can give rise to coherent dipole modes. Under the influence of impedance these coherent beam-beam modes can couple to higher order head-tail modes and lead to strong instabilities. A fully…
Light pseudoscalars interacting pre-dominantly with Standard Model gauge bosons (so-called axion-like particles or ALPs) occur frequently in extensions of the Standard Model. In this work we review and update existing constraints on ALPs in…
