We report on studies of the sensitivity to extra gauge bosons of the reactions e^+ e^- -> nu nubar gamma and e gamma -> nu q + X to extract discovery limits for W' 's. The discovery potential for a W' is, for some models, comparable to that…
The production of three electroweak gauge bosons in high-energy $e^+e^-$ collisions offers a window on anomalous quartic gauge boson couplings. We investigate the effect of three possible anomalous couplings on the cross sections for…
A brief overview of the prospects for detecting the Higgs bosons of the Minimal Supersymmetric Model at future colliders is presented.
The mechanism extending spontaneous symmetry breaking to gauge fields had a considerable impact on both theoretical and experimental elementary particle physics. It is corroborated by the discovery of the Z and the W, and by the precision…
We report on a study of the physics potential of linear $e^+e^-$ colliders. Although a linear collider (LC) would support a broad physics program, we focus on the contributions that could help elucidate the origin of electroweak symmetry…
There is a deep interrelationship of the General Theory of Relativity and weak interactions in the model of Expansive Nondecelerative Universe. This fact allows an independent determination of the mass of vector bosons Z and W, as well as…
Particle physics model building within the context of string theory suggests that further copies of the Higgs boson sector may be expected. Concerns regarding tree-level flavor changing neutral currents are easiest to allay if little or no…
Event characteristics of $W$ boson production at HERA collider are untrivial and sensitive to the production mechanisms. We analyse the distributions of the four particle final state defined by the complete set of $W$ producing perturbative…
Exploiting the fact that $W$ pair production in high-energy $\gamma \gamma$ collisions is very large, we use this process to trigger Higgs, $Z$ or photon radiation. We find that there are sizeable rising cross-sections for triple bosons…
In this lecture, I discuss measurements of the properties of the Higgs boson and related observables in the era of Higgs factories. This highly motivated experimental program is the challenge for the next generation of particle physicists.
We discuss the capabilities of future muon colliders to resolve important particle physics questions. A collider with c.m. energy $\sqrt s = 100$ to 500~GeV offers the unique opportunity to produce Higgs bosons in the $s$-channel and…
Our picture of the electroweak interactions continues to improve, with ever more precise constraints on the masses of the Higgs boson(s) and on non-standard physics. Some recent developments include: (a) a calculation of higher-order…
We investigate the phenomenology of the dark $Z$ boson, $Z_d$, which is associated with a new Abelian gauge symmetry and couples to the standard model particles via kinetic mixing $\varepsilon$ and mass mixing $\varepsilon_Z^{}$. We examine…
After a brief review of the Big Issues in particle physics, we discuss the contributions to resolving that could be made by various planned and proposed future colliders. These include future runs of LEP and the Fermilab Tevatron collider,…
In absence of the Standard Model Higgs boson the interaction among the gauge bosons becomes strong at high energies and influences the couplings between them. Each trilinear and quartic gauge boson vertex is characterised by a set of…
We show that the $m_W$ measurement is a direct probe of New Physics (NP) contributing to lepton and missing transverse momentum ($\ell+MET$), independently from indirect tests via the electroweak fit. Such NP modifies the kinematic…
We analyse W boson production at hadron colliders in association with one or two jets, both with the exact kinematics and in the high-energy limit. We argue that the configurations that are kinematically favoured tend to have the W boson…
We give an overview of the problems and developments associated with the calculation of radiative corrections to off-shell gauge-boson pair production in e^+ e^- collisions.
Vector-boson fusion processes constitute an important class of reactions at hadron colliders, both for signals and backgrounds of new physics in the electroweak interactions. We consider what is commonly referred to as W+W- production via…
Recent measurements of the electroweak-boson production performed by the ALICE Collaboration are reported. The W-boson production was measured at midrapidity in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV, via the electronic decay of the boson. It…
