Searches for New Physics at Wakefield Colliders

Abstract: To make significant strides in exploring the energy frontier, we require revolutionary acceleration technologies. In this talk, I will discuss wakefield accelerators and the distinct opportunities they present. Specifically, I will describe how beamstrahlung, often viewed as a major drawback, can be leveraged as a powerful tool for resonance searches. I will also present prospects for precision measurements of electroweak Higgs boson couplings. For both studies, I will discuss the value of various collider configurations and weigh the benefits of solving the challenge of positron acceleration.
