Before the LHC, there was the Tevatron, which ran at the high-energy frontier for approximately 25 years. Many of the modern analysis tools used at the LHC were first developed at the Tevatron. In this chapter, benchmark data analyses (and related theoretical tools), such as for W/Z bosons, photons, and jets, are described. The apex of the Tevatron was the discovery of the top quark. Measurements of the top quark cross section and of the top quark mass are examined and tt¯ asymmetry measurements and predictions are reviewed. Although attributed to many Beyond-the-Standard Model scenarios, the ultimate explanation for the larger than expected asymmetry turned out to be higher order QCD. There were very active Higgs boson searches at the Tevatron. Although the Tevatron was able to somewhat exclude the allowed Higgs mass range, time ran out before any observation could be made. This was left to the LHC.

The prospects for discovering Higgs particles and studying their fundamental properties at future high-energy electron-positron and hadron colliders are reviewed. Both the Standard Model Higgs boson and the Higgs particles of its minimal supersymmetric extension are discussed. We update various results by taking into account the new value of the top-quark mass obtained by the CDF Collaboration, and by including radiative corrections, some of which have been calculated only recently.

The International Linear Collider has a rich physics programme, whatever lies beyond the standard model. Accurate measurement of the top quark mass is needed to constrain the model or its extensions. If there is a light Higgs boson the LHC should see it, but the ILC will pin down its characteristics and test them against model predictions. If Supersymmetric particles appear the ILC will measure a complementary set of them to those seen at the LHC, and may allow extrapolation to the Grand Unified scale. And if a strong electroweak sector is indicated the ILC will be sensitive to the presence of new structures in difermion and diboson systems up to higher masses than the direct search range of the LHC. Beyond the LHC and ILC there could be need for a multi TeV lepton collider.

Abstract There are indications that an asymptotically safe UV completion of the Standard Model with gravity could constrain the Higgs self-coupling, resulting in a prediction of the Higgs mass close to the vacuum stability bound in the Standard Model. The predicted value depends on the top quark mass and comes out somewhat higher than the experimental value if the current central value for the top quark mass is assumed. Beyond the Standard Model, the predicted value also depends on dark fields coupled through a Higgs portal. Here we study the Higgs self-coupling in a toy model of the Standard Model with quantum gravity that we extend by a dark scalar and fermion. Within the approximations used in [1], there is a single free parameter in the asymptotically safe dark sector, as a function of which the predicted (toy model) Higgs mass can be lowered due to mixing effects if the dark sector undergoes spontaneous symmetry breaking.

Ultraperipheral collisions (UPCs) of heavy ions and protons are the energy frontier for electromagnetic interactions. Both photonuclear and two-photon collisions are studied at collision energies that are far higher than those available elsewhere. In this review, we discuss physics topics that can be addressed with UPCs, including nuclear shadowing, nuclear structure, and searches for physics beyond the Standard Model.

Higgs radiation off heavy top quarks in high-energy e+e− colliders may be exploited to measure the Higgs-top quark coupling. We explore the mass range for which the process [Formula: see text] provides access to this fundamental parameter in the Standard Model.

Within the standard model with three generations we fit the top quark mass mt by combining experimental information of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] mixing, CP-violation in K decay and the ratio Γ(W)/Γ(Z) extracted from [Formula: see text] collider data. We conclude that [Formula: see text] where the "systematic error" associated with theoretical ambiguities in performing the calculations is likely to be significantly larger than the quoted 10 GeV error associated with input parameters and experimental data. The anticipated value essentially guarantees the discovery of the top quark by existing experiments. Failure to discover it should force us to reconsider generally accepted calculational procedures before it signals new physics beyond the standard model. We discuss this in some detail.

The process of top-quark pair production followed by semileptonic decays at future high-energy e+ e- linear colliders is investigated as a possible test of physics beyond the Standard Model. Assuming the most general nonstandard forms for [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and Wtb couplings, the energy spectrum of the single lepton ℓ± and the energy correlation of ℓ+ and ℓ- emerging from the process [Formula: see text] are calculated. Expected precision of the nonstandard-parameter determination is estimated adopting the recently-proposed optimal method.

Abstract It is not only conceivable but likely that the spectrum of physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) is non-degenerate. The lightest non-SM particle may reside close enough to the electroweak scale that it can be kinematically probed at high-energy experiments and on account of this, it must be included as an infrared (IR) degree of freedom (DOF) along with the SM ones. The rest of the non-SM particles are heavy enough to be directly experimentally inaccessible and can be integrated out. Now, to capture the effects of the complete theory, one must take into account the higher dimensional operators constituted of the SM DOFs and the minimal extension. This construction, BSMEFT, is in the same spirit as SMEFT but now with extra IR DOFs. Constructing a BSMEFT is in general the first step after establishing experimental evidence for a new particle. We have investigated three different scenarios where the SM is extended by additional (i) uncolored, (ii) colored particles, and (iii) abelian gauge symmetries. For each such scenario, we have included the most-anticipated and phenomenologically motivated models to demonstrate the concept of BSMEFT. In this paper, we have provided the full EFT Lagrangian for each such model up to mass dimension 6. We have also identified the CP, baryon (B), and lepton (L) number violating effective operators.

High energy electroweak data, including the recent measurement of M top is analyzed within the basic framework of the standard model. While the experimentally measured value of [Formula: see text] implies a low value of M top , the rest of the data demands a much higher value. Estimates of M Higgs within the SM framework including and excluding this Rb measurement are given. Next this discrepancy is expressed in terms of a new parameter, [Formula: see text], the excess[Formula: see text] production compared to that expected from a SM fit. This parameter is determined to be (9.4 to 12.8) ± 5.0 MeV, implying an excess of over 10 000 [Formula: see text] events in each LEP experiment after the 1993 data is fully analyzed. The origin of these events could be non-minimal Higgs pair production which should be thoroughly searched for in the full data sample of ~2×106 events per LEP experiment. Unless this discrepancy eventually turns out to be a fluctuation one may be witnessing at LEP the advent of physics beyond the standard model.

We study for the first time the collider reach on the derivative Higgs portal, the leading effective interaction that couples a pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson (pNGB) scalar Dark Matter to the Standard Model. We focus on Dark Matter pair production through an off-shell Higgs boson, which is analyzed in the vector boson fusion channel. A variety of future high-energy lepton colliders as well as hadron colliders are considered, including CLIC, a muon collider, the High-Luminosity and High-Energy versions of the LHC, and FCC-hh. Implications on the parameter space of pNGB Dark Matter are discussed. In addition, we give improved and extended results for the collider reach on the marginal Higgs portal, under the assumption that the new scalars escape the detector, as motivated by a variety of beyond the Standard Model scenarios.
