We studied the production and signatures of doubly charged Higgs bosons in the process γ e− → H−−E+, where E+ is a heavy lepton, at the e−e+ International Linear Collider (ILC) and CERN Linear Collider (CLIC). The intermediate photons are given by the Weizsäcker–Williams and laser-backscattering distributions. We found that significant signatures are obtained by bremsstrahlung and backward Comp...

In this paper, we examine the potentials of the processes γγ → W+W−Z and e+e− → e+γ∗γ∗e− → e+W+W−Ze− at the CLIC with √s = 0.5, 1.5 and 3TeV to investigate anomalous quarticWWZγ couplings by two different CP-violating and CP-conserving effective Lagrangians. We find 95% confidence level sensitivities on the anomalous coupling parameters at the three CLIC energies and various integrated luminosi...

Abstract Vector-like quarks are predicted by several theoretical scenarios of new physics which could solve the hierarchy problem in particular and might be produced through electroweak interactions. In this work, we investigate prospects for discovering SU (2) singlet vector-like bottom quark (VLQ- B ) $$e^{+}e^{-}$$ <mml:msu...

The Compact LInear Collider (CLIC), presently under study at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), aims at colliding high-energy “nanobeams” at a luminosity of 10 cm−2s−1. Vibrations of the lattice elements, if not properly corrected, can result in a loss in performance by creating both unacceptable emittance growth in the linear accelerator and relative beam-beam offsets at th...

The Chloride Intracellular Ion Channel (CLIC) family consists of six evolutionarily conserved proteins in humans. Members of this family are unusual, existing as both monomeric soluble proteins and as integral membrane proteins where they function as chloride selective ion channels, however no function has previously been assigned to their soluble form. Structural studies have shown that in the...

Abstract One kind of particularly interesting pseudoscalar particles, called axion-like particles (ALPs), have rich physical phenomenology at high- and low-energy collider experiments. After discussing most single production channels ALP electron-positron colliders, we investigate the possibility detecting this new through W $$^{+}$$ <mm...

The anomalous quartic neutral couplings of the $\gamma\gamma\gamma\gamma$ vertex in a polarized light-by-light scattering Compton backscattered photons at CLIC are examined.

In recent years, there has been a huge rise in the number of publicly available transcriptional profiling datasets. These massive compendia comprise billions of measurements and provide a special opportunity to predict the function of unstudied genes based on co-expression to well-studied pathways. Such analyses can be very challenging, however, since biological pathways are modular and may exh...

Several studies have suggested crosstalk between different clathrin-independent endocytic pathways. However, the molecular mechanisms and functional relevance of these interactions are unclear. Caveolins and cavins are crucial components of caveolae, specialized microdomains that also constitute an endocytic route. Here we show that specific caveolar proteins are independently acting negative r...

Data from LEP2 on hadron production in γγ interactions at high pT exceed the predictions of QCD by about an order of magnitude. The amplitude for the process is asymptotically proportional to the sum of the squares of the charges of quarks. The data are suggestive of models where quarks have unit charges, or larger. Unequivocal tests could be made with the ILC or CLIC, but a plasma wakefield e−...
