Search for Scalar Leptoquarks with polarized protons (and neutrons) at HERA and future Machines
The effects of Scalar Leptoquarks in various channels have been analysed for
the HERA collider and also for an eventual new machine running at higher
energies. We emphasize the relevance of polarized beams.Comment: Latex file, 3 pages and 3 ps fig. Need style files :

Search and identification of Scalar and Vector Leptoquarks at HERA with polarization
We analyze the effects of Scalar and Vector Leptoquarks on various
observables in electron (positron) - proton deep inelastic scattering. In view
of the future program of the HERA collider, with a high luminosity and also
with polarization, we present the constraints that can be reached using this
facility for several Leptoquark scenarios. We address the question of the
identification of the nature of a discovered Leptoquark. We emphasize the
relevance of having polarized lepton and proton beams in order to disentangle
completely the various Leptoquark models. This study is also relevant in the
context of the TESLAHERA project.Comment: Version to appear in Eur.Phys.J.C. 3 typos have been correcte
Sensitivity and figures of merit for dark energy supernovae surveys
Tracking the origin of the accelerating expansion of the Universe remains one of the most challenging research activities today. The final answer will depend on the precision and on the consistency of future data. The sensitivity of future surveys and the control of the errors are crucial. We focus on futur supernovae surveys in the light of the figure of merit defined by the Dark Energy Task Force. We compare different optimisation and emphasize the importance of the understanding of the systematic error level in this approach and their impact on the conclusions. We discuss different representations of the results to distinguish CDM from other theoretical models. We conclude that all representations should be controlled through combined analyses and consistency checks to avoid some bias
