A weakly coupled new neutral gauge boson forms a narrow resonance that is hard to discover directly in e+e- collisions. However, if the gauge boson mass is below the center-of-mass energy, it can be produced through processes where the…
The interactions of electroweak gauge bosons are severely constrained by the symmetries inferred from low energy observables. The exploration of the dynamics of electroweak symmetry breaking requires therefore both an experimental…
Neutral gauge bosons beyond the Standard Model are becoming interesting as possible mediators to explain several experimental anomalies. They have small masses, below one GeV, and are referred to as dark photons, $U$, $A'$ or $Z'$ bosons.…
If extra gauge bosons are observed at the LHC or at a linear e+e- collider, the reaction e+e- --> nu nubar gamma can give information on the couplings (W' nu l) and (Z' nu nubar). The total cross section and polarization asymmetries are the…
The weak bosons, leptons and quarks are considered as composite particles. The interaction of the constituents is a confining gauge interaction. The standard electroweak model is a low energy approximation. The mixing of the neutral weak…
We discuss the parameterization for electroweak gauge boson interactions without a light Higgs boson. We present the constraints on the anomalous gauge-boson couplings from the current experiments. We emphasize that the four-point couplings…
We review the status of theoretical calculations relevant for electroweak physics at hadron colliders. The large parton flux at high energy gives rise to events where different pairs of partons interact contemporarily with large momentum…
A direct measurement of the trilinear $WW\gamma$ and $WWZ$ couplings is possible in the pair production of electroweak bosons at $e^+e^-$ and hadron colliders. This talk addresses some of the theoretical issues: the parameterization of…
Probing signatures of anomalous interactions of the Higgs boson with pairs of weak vector bosons is an important goal of an $e^+e^-$ collider commissioned as a Higgs factory. We perform a detailed analysis of such potential of a collider…
A novel method is proposed that uses very slow electron elastic collisions with atoms to identify their presence through the observation of tenuously bound (electron impact energy, E<0.1 eV) and weakly bound (E<1 eV) negative ions, formed…
In a composite model of the weak bosons the excited bosons, in particular the p-wave bosons, are studied. The state with the lowest mass is identified with the boson, which has been discovered recently at the "Large Hadron Collider" at…
We consider the production of a single right-handed gauge boson $W_R$ in the high-energy $e^-\gamma$ collisions with polarized beams. If the associated neutrino is light, the reaction will give the best discovery reach for $W_R$ in the Next…
The study of gauge bosons is interesting in two respects. The properties of gauge bosons are modified by higher order effects that are sensitive to mass scales not directly accessible to experiment. On the other hand interactions amongst…
Since the W and Z discovery, hadron colliders have provided a fertile ground, in which continuously improving measurements and theoretical predictions allow to precisely determine the gauge boson properties, and to probe the dynamics of…
We reexamine the improved effective vector boson approximation which is based on two-vector-boson luminosities $\mathrm{\mathbf{L}}_{\rm pol}$ for the computation of weak gauge-boson hard scattering subprocesses $V_1 V_2\to {\cal W}$ in…
A generic feature of little Higgs models is presence of extra neutral gauge bosons. In the littlest Higgs model, the neutral extra gauge boson A_H is lightest among the extra particles and could be as light as a few hundred GeV, which may…
We summarize the potential of high--energy $\ee$ linear colliders for discovering, and in case of discovery, for studying the signals of extended gauge models. We will mainly focus on the virtual signals of new neutral gauge bosons and on…
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…
The production of multiple gauge bosons via weak boson fusion is an important process at the LHC. It is relevant as a background process appearing in many searches and measurements, but also serves as a signal process when studying…
Weak boson scattering processes provide particularly promising means for gaining insight into the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking at hadron colliders. Being very sensitive to interactions in the weak gauge boson sector, they will…
