In this work we calculate the effects of the electroweak flavour changing neutral currents dimension six effective operators on single top production at the LHC. These results are then combined with previous ones we have obtained for the strong sector. This allow us, for the first time, to perform a combined analysis of flavour changing neutral currents in top production with all contributing dimension six operators. Finally, we study the feasibility of their observation and characterization both at the Tevatron and at the LHC., Comment: 16 pages, 13 figures

In this study, we propose new Higgs production mechanisms with multi-photon final states in the fermiophobic limit of the Two Higgs Doublet Model. The processes are: gg -> hh, gg -> H h followed by H -> h h and gg -> A h followed by A -> h Z. In the fermiophobic limit, gg -> h h and gg -> A h -> h h Z would give rise to 4 photon signature while gg -> H h -> h h h can give a 6 photon final state. We show that both the Fermilab Tevatron and CERN's Large Hadron Collider can probe a substantial slice of the parameter space in this fermiophobic scenario of the Two Higgs Doublet Model. If observed the above processes can give some information on the triple Higgs couplings involved., Comment: 9 pages, 13 figures

We study the combined effects of both strong and electroweak dimension six effective operators on flavour changing top quark physics at the LHC. Analytic expressions for the cross sections and decay widths of several flavour changing processes will be presented, as well as an analysis of the feasibility of their observation at the LHC., Comment: 22 pages, 14 figures

We explore the possibility of detecting lepton flavour violation, now a well established experimental fact, at the International Linear Collider. Using a model independent approach we conclude that, given all experimental constraints available, there is still room to detect lepton flavour violation at the ILC., Comment: Presented at XXVII Physics in Collision - Annecy, France, 26 - 29 June 2007 (to appear in Acta Physica Polonica B)

We study the effects of dimension six effective operators on the flavour violating production and decay of leptons at the International Linear Collider. Analytic expressions for the cross sections, decay widths and asymmetries of all flavour changing processes will be presented, as well as an analysis of the feasibility of their observation at the ILC., Comment: 19 pages, 8 figures
