Notes:
The physics and technology of a photon collider option are being actively examined within linear collider design studies ongoing in Japan, Europe and the U.S. A photon collider based on Compton-backscattering of short-pulse laser light from the electron bunches just before the collision point would produce collisions of real gammas with a large fraction of the e+e– center-of-mass energy, and of comparable luminosity. The laser and optics technologies required for a real project are well-advanced; their status and plans for a complete integrated design of a photon collider within the NLC project will be described.

New result on APV in Cesium and unitarity of the CKM matrix, as well as recent LEP2 hadronic cross-section measurements indicate possible deviations from the Standard Model predictions. Exchange of leptoquark type objects with masses above 250GeV has been proposed as a possible explanation for these effects. Exclusion limits from direct leptoquark searches are estimated for future experiments at HERA, THERA, TESLA e+e- and TESLA e-gamma, and compared with the expected limits from leptoquark pair production at Tevatron and LHC. With 500 GeV electron beam energy possible leptoquark signal can be tested at TESLA and THERA up to masses of about 1TeV.

The detector resulting from the "ECFA/DESY Study of Physics and Detector for a Linear Collider" is described. The detector is viable for JLC, NLC or TESLA, although it was designed during the European workshops for TESLA. It will also work well for e-e- physics because of its very good coverage of the forward direction. Recent detector R&D efforts will be reported.

With an anticipated integrated luminosity of 2 ab-1 at centre-of-mass energies from 350 GeV upto about 1 TeV, the TESLA linear collider will represent a powerful probe of the electro-weak symmetry breaking mechanism through a detailed study of the Higgs profile. This study sets also stringent requirements on the detector response, making it an ideal benchmark for the optimisation of its design. The TESLA linear collider potential is complementary to that of LEP2, Tevatron and LHC, promoting Higgs physics from discovery limits to precision measurements. Results from a systematic investigation of the estimated accuracy on the determination of the Higgs production and decay properties are presented. These include the Higgs boson mass and width, its production cross sections and couplings for the SM and scenarios with Higgs doublets such as the MSSM. These studies are based on realistic simulations including the detector response and the physics and machine induced backgrounds.

Fermilab Accelerator complex is being commissioned for the Run-II of the collider detectors. Two new accelerators, the Main Injector and the Recycler Ring has been added to the complex. Other accelerators have been upgraded also. These upgrade will significantly enhance the ppbar luminosity. We will discuss these upgrades and potential for Run-II.

The status and projected performance of future hadron colliders will be reviewed. While the major emphasis will be placed on the Large Hardon Collider now under construction at CERN, the prospects for machines in the more distant future will also be addressed.

The design of a new generation of very intense low energy muon sources has recently received much attention. These new sources could be used to provide high intensity muon beams for neutrino factories, low energy muon facilities, and ultimately for a high energy muon collider. The status of current neutrino factory concepts will be discussed, along with the associated R&D plan, and longer term prospects for muon colliders.

An overview on the future prospects for electron colliders is presented. In the first part of this paper we will walk through the status of current development of next-generation electron linear colliders of sub-TeV to TeV energy range. Then we will visit recent results from technological developments which aim at longer term future for higher energy accelerators.
