Searches for New Particles

Abstract

The status of searches for new particles and new physics during the past year at the Fermilab Tevatron, at HERA and at LEP is summarized. A discussion of the hints for the Standard Model Higgs boson from LEP2 data is presented. Searches for non-Standard Model Higgs bosons are also described. Many searches have been carried out for the particles predicted by supersymmetry theories, and a sampling of these is given. There have also been searches for flavor changing neutral currents in the interactions of the top quark. In addition, searches for excited leptons, leptoquarks and technicolor are summarized.Comment: LaTeX2e, ws-p10x7.cls, 16 pages, 25 figures, Proceedings of the XX International Symposium on Lepton and Photon Interactions at High Energies, Rome, Italy, 23-28 July, 200
