    We have studied the phenomenology of a dark matter in ILC and cosmic positron experiments based on a model independent approach.

    If the cosmic dark matter consists of weakly interacting massive particles, these particles should be produced in reactions at the next generation of high energy accelerators. Measurements at these accelerators can then be used to determine the microscopic properties of the dark matter. From this, we can predict the cosmic density, the annihilation cross sections, and the cross sections...

    The Universal Extra Dimension models are supposed to mimic SUSY at colliders. They are also of interest as a source of cold dark matter. I discuss how ILC can discriminate between UED and SUSY from lepton pair production. I will also discuss how, in UED, single production of n=2 electroweak gauge bosons as s-channel resonances (much in the same vein as LEP) may lead to a precision study...

    In a R-parity violating (RPV) model of neutrino mass with three bilinear couplings mu_i and three trilinear couplings lambda'_{i33}, where i is the lepton index, we find six generic scenarios each with a distinctive pattern of the trilinear couplings consistent with the oscillation data.

    We investigate the possibilities of studying possible new physics in various processes of t-quark production using the kinematical distributions of the secondary lepton coming from decay of t-quarks. We show that the angular distributions of secondary lepton are insensitive the anomalous tbW vertex and hence is a pure probe of new physics in a generic process of t-quark production. The...

    The MPGD readout TPC for the ILC will have to measure ~200 track points with a resolution close to 100 microns for all drift distances. It may be difficult to meet the resolution target with conventional MPGD readout techniques if ~2 mm wide pads were used as is presently envisioned. Reducing the pad width to improve resolution could add significantly to the detector cost and complexity....

    The full exploitation of the physics potential of an International Linear Collider (ILC), will require the development of polarized positron beams. Having both positron and electron beams polarized will be a decisive improvement for many physics studies in the linear collider, providing new insight into structures of couplings and thus access to the physics beyond the standard model. The...

    A calorimeter energy calibration method has been developed for ILC detectors. The method uses the center mass energy of the accelerator as a constraint.

The Application of this method in LDC...

    Among the viable alternatives to the Standard Higgs Mechanism is the recently proposed Little Higgs models.
