A distinctive signature is a pair of same sign leptons, a smoking-gun for Lepton Number Violation....
A light Higgs boson, with mass of the order of 100 GeV, is still not excluded by the existing experimental data, provided its coupling to gauge bosons is strongly suppressed compared to a SM-like Higgs boson at the same mass.

current energy frontier colliders, viz. the LHC,...
While dimuonium (mu+mu-) -- the ``smallest QED atom" -- has not yet been observed, it is of utmost fundamental interest. By virtue of the larger mass, dimuonium has greater sensitivity to beyond the standard model (BSM) effects than its cousins positronium or muonium, both discovered long ago, while not suffering from large QCD uncertainties.
Dimuonium atoms can be created in e+e- collisions...

the electron and positron collision...
There have been several recent proposals for advanced accelerator designs at extremely high energy that involve potentially challenging experimental environments.
