An important problem in computer science is to find procedures for generating random numbers. Since any algorithm has a pattern to it, there is no procedure which generates truly random numbers. Govind's work shows that inverses modulo prime numbers can be used for this. Govind's two papers in physics both deal with elementary particles. One paper deals with the calibration of a calorimeter designed to detect neutrinos.
Neutrinos are essentially massless particles emitted in enormous quantities by supernovas.
They can penetrate deep into the earth because they interact so little with anything else. The problem of detecting them is not an easy one. Govind's second paper in physics has already been published and goes to the heart of theoretical physics. It is an effort to understand the distribution of quarks in protons. Quarks are believed to be the basic constituent of elementary particles.
