Dark sector may couple to the Standard Model via one or more mediator particles. We discuss two types of mediators: the dark photon $A^{prime}$ and the dark scalar mediator $phi$. The total cross-sections and various differential distributions of the processes $e^{+} e^{-} rightarrow q bar{q} A^{prime}$ and $e^{+} e^{-} rightarrow q bar{q} phi$ ($q=u,~d,~c,~s$ and $b$ quarks) are discussed. We focus on the study of the invisible $A^{prime}$ due to the cleaner background at future $e^{+} e^{-}$ colliders. It is found that the kinematic distributions of the two-jet system could be used to identify (or exclude) the dark photon and the dark scalar mediator, as well as to distinguish between them. We further study the possibility of a search for dark photons at a future CEPC experiment with $sqrt{s}=$ 91.2 GeV and 240 GeV. With CEPC running at $sqrt{s}=$ 91.2 GeV, it would be possible to perform a decisive measurement of the dark photon (20 GeV $< m_{A^{prime}} <$ 60 GeV) in less than one operating year. The lower limits of the integrated luminosity for the significance $S/sqrt{B}=$ 2$sigma$, 3$sigma$ and 5$sigma$ are presented.

In recent years there have been many proposals for new electron-positron colliders, such as the Circular Electron-Positron Collider, the International Linear Collider, and the Future Circular Collider in electron-positron mode. Much of the motivation
for these colliders is precision measurements of the Higgs boson and searches for new electroweak states. Hence, many of these studies are focused on energies above the $h,Z$ threshold. However, there are proposals to run these colliders at the lower $WW$ threshold and $Z$-pole energies. In this paper, we propose a new search for Higgs physics accessible at lower energies: $e^+e^-rightarrow h,Z_d$, where $Z_d$ is a new light gauge boson such as a dark photon or dark-$Z$. Such searches can be conducted at the $WW$ threshold, i.e. energies below the $h,Z$ threshold where exotic Higgs decays can be searched for in earnest. Additionally, due to very good angular and energy resolution at future electron-positron colliders, these searches will be sensitive to $Z_d$ masses below 1 GeV, which is lower than the current direct LHC searches. We will show that at $sqrt{s}=160$ GeV with 10 ab$^{-1}$, a search for $e^+e^-rightarrow h,Z_d$ is sensitive to $h-Z-Z_d$ couplings of $deltasim 8times 10^{-3}$ and cross sections of $sim 1-2$ ab for $Z_d$ masses below 1 GeV. The results are similar at $sqrt{s}=240$ GeV with 5 ab$^{-1}$.
We study associated Higgs production with a photon at electron-positron colliders, $e^+e^-to hgamma$, in various extended Higgs models, such as the inert doublet model (IDM), the inert triplet model (ITM) and the two Higgs doublet model (THDM). The c
ross section in the standard model (SM) is maximal around $sqrt{s}=$250 GeV, and we present how and how much the new physics can enhance or reduce the production rate. We also discuss the correlation with the $htogammagamma$ and $hto Zgamma$ decay rates. We find that, with a sizable coupling to a SM-like Higgs boson, charged scalars can give considerable contributions to both the production and the decay if their masses are around 100 GeV. Under the theoretical constraints from vacuum stability and perturbative unitarity as well as the current constraints from the Higgs measurements at the LHC, the production rate can be enhanced from the SM prediction at most by a factor of two in the IDM. In the ITM, in addition, we find a particular parameter region where the $hgamma$ production significantly increases by a factor of about six to eight, but the $htogammagamma$ decay still remains as in the SM. In the THDM, possible deviations from the SM prediction are minor in the viable parameter space.
An electron-positron linear collider in the energy range between 500 and 1000 GeV is of crucial importance to precisely test the Standard Model and to explore the physics beyond it. The physics program is complementary to that of the Large Hadron Col
lider. Some of the main physics goals and the expected accuracies of the anticipated measurements at such a linear collider are discussed. A short review of the different collider designs presently under study is given including possible upgrade paths to the multi-TeV region. Finally a framework is presented within which the realisation of such a project could be achieved as a global international project.
We investigate the prospects for discovering axion-like particles (ALPs) via a light-by-light (LBL) scattering at two colliders, the future circular collider (FCC-ee) and circular electron-positron collider (CEPC). The protexttt{mi}sing sensitivities
to the effective ALP-photon coupling $g_{agammagamma}$ are obtained. Our numerical results show that the FCC-ee and CEPC might be more sensitive to the ALPs with mass 2 GeV $sim$ 10 GeV than the LHC and CLIC.
Flavor symmetries are useful to realize fermion flavor structures in the standard model. In particular, discrete $A_4$ symmetry is used to realize lepton flavor structures, and some scalars which are called flavon are introduced to break this symmetr
y. In many models, flavons are assumed to be much heavier than the electroweak scale. However, our previous work showed that flavon mass around 100 GeV is allowed by experimental constraints in the $A_4$ symmetric model with residual $Z_3$ symmetry. In this paper, we discuss collider search of such a light flavon $varphi_T$. We find that an electron - photon collision, as a considerable option at the international linear collider, has advantages to search for the signals. At the electron - photon collider flavons are produced as $e^-gamma to l^- varphi_T$ and decay into two charged leptons. Then we analyze signals of flavor-conserving final-state $tau^+ tau^- e^-$, and flavor-violating final-states $tau^+ mu^- mu^-$ and $mu^+ tau^- tau^-$ by carrying out numerical simulation. For the former final-state, SM background can be strongly suppressed by imposing cuts on the invariant masses of final-state leptons. For the later final-states, SM background is extremely small, because in the SM there are no such flavor-violating final-states. We then find that sufficient discovery significance can be obtained, even if flavons are heavier than the lower limits from flavor physics.
