We review recent theoretical developments and experimental measurements of azimuthal modulations in photon-induced processes, covering both ultra-peripheral heavy-ion collisions (UPCs) and $e^+e^-$ colliders. The azimuthal asymmetries…
Perturbative unitarity is a powerful tool for inferring the range of validity of a given effective field theory. Here, we study such a bound in the parameter space of dimension-5 and dimension-6 effective operators that arise in a scenario…
Exclusive photoproduction of dileptons, gamma p ->l+ l- p, will be measured in ultraperipheral collisions at LHC. The mechanism where the lepton pair comes from a heavy timelike photon radiated from a quark interferes with the pure QED…
Positivity bounds are theoretical constraints on the Wilson coefficients of an effective field theory. These bounds emerge from the requirement that a given effective field theory must be the low-energy limit of a relativistic quantum…
We discuss diphoton semi(exclusive) production in ultraperipheral $PbPb$ collisions at energy of $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=$ 5.5 TeV (LHC). The nuclear calculations are based on equivalent photon approximation in the impact parameter space. The cross…
We introduce infrared finite, analytic, crossing symmetric, Regge behaved, and Lorentz invariant amplitudes $\mathcal{M}_{\mathcal {E}}$, labeled by the experimental energy resolution $\mathcal{E}$ for detecting soft photons and gravitons.…
We investigate the effects of anomalous neutral triple gauge couplings in $ZZ$ and $Z\gamma$ production processes, followed by the leptonic decay of the $Z$ boson, at a lepton collider with center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}=250$~GeV and…
We derive positivity bounds on EFT coefficients in theories where boosts are spontaneously broken. We employ the analytic properties of the retarded Green's function of conserved currents (or of the stress-energy tensor) and assume the…
We point out that heavy new physics contributions in leptonic dipole moments and high-energy cross-sections of lepton pairs into Higgs bosons and photons are connected model-independently. In particular, we demonstrate that a muon collider,…
We use the current CMS and ATLAS data for the leptonic $pp \to WW, WZ$ channels to show that diboson production is, for a broad class of flavour models, already competitive with LEP-1 measurements for setting bounds on the dimension six…
Doubly charged excited leptons give rise to interesting signatures for physics beyond the standard model at the present Large Hadron Collider. These exotic states are introduced in extended isospin multiplets which couple to the ordinary…
In the post-LHC era, the muon collider represents a frontier project capable of providing high-energy and high-luminosity leptonic collisions among future lepton-lepton particle accelerators. In addition, it provides significantly cleaner…
Two-photon collision in ultraperipheral heavy-ion collisions (UPCs) provides a unique and powerful platform for probing QCD with linearly polarized quasi-real photons. While photon polarization effects have been recognized in dilepton and…
We study the anomalous $ZZ\gamma$ and $Z\gamma\gamma$ couplings that can be probed via $Z\gamma$ production at the $e^+ \, e^-$ colliders. We take Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) approach to examine these anomalous neutral…
Testing New-Physics (NP) scenarios that couple predominantly to the third generation is notoriously difficult experimentally, as exemplified by comparing limits for the $\tau$ lepton dipole moments to those of electrons and muons. In this…
Due to coherence, there are strong electromagnetic fields of short duration in very peripheral collisions. They give rise to photon-photon and photon-nucleus collisions with a high flux up to an invariant mass region hitherto unexplored…
We derive positivity bounds on low energy effective field theories which admit gapped, analytic, unitary, Lorentz invariant, and possibly non-local UV completions, by considering 2 to 2 scatterings of Jaffe fields whose…
We formulate Positivity Bounds for scattering amplitudes including exchange of massless particles. We generalize the standard construction through dispersion relations to include the presence of a branch cut along the real axis in the…
The anomalous magnetic moment of the tau lepton, $a_{\tau}$, represents a fundamental test of the Standard Model (SM) and a high-sensitivity probe for New Physics in the third generation of leptons. Due to the tau's extremely short…
Model independent constraints on the mass of extra neutral gauge bosons and their couplings to charged leptons are given for LEP~II and a 500\,GeV $e^+e^-$ collider. Analytical exclusion limits are derived in the Born approximation. The…
