Evidence of scaling of void probability in nucleus-nucleus interactions at few GeV energy
The rapidity gap probability in the ${}^{24}\mathrm{M}\mathrm{g}\ensuremath{-}\mathrm{A}\mathrm{g}\mathrm{B}\mathrm{r}$ interaction at $4.5\mathrm{GeV}/c/\mathrm{nucleon}$ has been studied in detail. The data reveal scaling behavior of the void probability in the central rapidity domain which confirms the validity of the linked-pair approximation for the $N$-particle cumulant correlation functions. This scaling behavior appears to be similar to the void probability in the Perseus-Pisces supercluster region of galaxies.

title: Multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis of pseudorapidity and azimuthal distribution of pions emitted in high energy nuclear collisions
abstract: In this paper multifractal analysis of fluctuation pattern of pions emitted in 32S-AgBr and 16O-AgBr interactions at 200 GeV and 60 GeV, respectively, is performed in the framework of multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis (MFDFA). The pseudorapidity and azimuthal distributions exhibit multifractal scaling properties at both energies. The variation of multifractal width with energy is also studied. The study reveals a dependence of multifractal width on energy in pseudorapidity space while no such dependence is observed in azimuthal space.

title: Characteristics of pion production in ring-like events using entropy index
abstract: The possible chaotic behaviour in production of ring like structured events and jet like structured events in 16 O-AgBr interactions at 60 AGeV with the help of a newly defined parameter, entropy index μ′q has been studied. The data reveal less chaoticity in the pionisation process of ring like events with respect to that of jet like events.

title: NON-STATISTICAL FLUCTUATIONS OF PIONS FOR RING- AND JET-LIKE EVENTS AT CERN SPS ENERGY — AN IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS WITH FACTORIAL CORRELATOR
abstract: This study reveals the analysis of ring-like and jet-like events in terms of factorial correlations of 16O–Ag/Br interactions at 60A GeV. The investigation revealed that the correlated moments are found to increase with decreasing bin–bin separation D and follows a power-law which suggests the presence of an intermittent nature of self-similar dynamical fluctuations pattern for ring-like and jet-like events. From the analysis we find that for jet-like events the strength of non-statistical fluctuation is greater than the ring-like and total event set. Jet-like events follow the bin size independence according to α model of intermittency as like total events, whereas ring-like events are not consistent with the prediction of α model of intermittency.

title: FLUCTUATION PATTERN OF SHOWER AND COMPOUND MULTIPLICITY DISTRIBUTIONS IN NUCLEUS–NUCLEUS INTERACTIONS AT A FEW GeV
abstract: This work presents a study on the multiplicity distribution of shower and compound multiplicity (pions + target protons) emitted from 12C–AgBr and 24Mg–AgBr interactions at 4.5 AGeV in terms of negative binomial distribution (NBD) and also on the fluctuation pattern of shower and compound multiplicity in the frame work of two-dimensional factorial moment methodology using the concept of Hurst exponent.

title: Rapidity dependence of multiplicity fluctuations and correlations in high-energy nucleus–nucleus interactions
abstract: The multiplicity fluctuations of the produced pions were studied using scaled variance method in 16O–AgBr interactions at 2.1 AGeV, 24Mg–AgBr interactions at 4.5 AGeV, 12C–AgBr interactions at 4.5 AGeV, 16O–AgBr interactions at 60 AGeV and 32S–AgBr interactions at 200 AGeV at two different binning conditions. In the first binning condition, the rapidity interval was varied in steps of one centring about the central rapidity until it reached 14. In the second case, the rapidity interval was increased in steps of 1.6 up to 14.4. Multiplicity distributions and their scaled variances were presented as a function of the dependence on the rapidity width for both the binning conditions. Multiplicity fluctuations were found to increase with the increase of rapidity interval and later found to saturate at larger rapidity window for all the interactions and in both the binning conditions. Multiplicity fluctuations were found to increase with the energy of the projectile beam. The values of the scaled variances were found to be greater than one in all the cases in both the binning conditions indicating the presence of correlation during the multiparticle production process in high-energy nucleus–nucleus interactions. Experimental results were compared with the results obtained from the Monte Carlo simulated events for all the interactions. The Monte Carlo simulated data showed very small values of scaled variance suggesting very small fluctuations for the simulated events. Experimental results obtained from 16O–AgBr interactions at 60 AGeV and 32S–AgBr interactions at 200 AGeV were compared with the events generated by Lund Monte Carlo code (FRITIOF model). FRITIOF model failed to explain the multiplicity fluctuations of pions emitted from 16O–AgBr interactions at 60 AGeV for both the binning conditions. However, the experimental data agreed well with the FRITIOF model for 32S–AgBr interactions at 200 AGeV.

title: Collider Signatures for Heavy Lepton Triplet in Type I+III Seesaw
abstract: The minimal SU(5) theory augmented by the fermionic adjoint representation restores the coupling constant unification and gives realistic neutrino masses and mixing through the hybrid Type I and Type III seesaw. The crucial prediction of the theory is an SU(2) lepton triplet with the mass below TeV. We study the signature of these heavy leptons and propose the strategy to test this mechanism at the hadron and lepton colliders. The smoking gun evidence of the theory is Delta L=2 lepton number violation through events of a pair of like-sign leptons plus four jets without significant missing energy at hadron colliders. We find that via this unique channel, the heavy lepton can be searched for up to a mass of 200 GeV at the Tevatron with 8 fb^-1, and up to 450 (700) GeV at the LHC of 14 TeV C.M.energy with 10 (100) fb^-1. The signal rate at the 10 TeV LHC is reduced to 60-35% for a mass of 200-700 GeV. We also comment on how to distinguish this theory from other models with similar heavy leptons. Finally, we compare the production rates and angular distributions of heavy leptons in e+e- collisions for various models.

title: Constraints on supersymmetric flavor changing parameters using B ---> PP decays
abstract: We study contributions of quark-squark-gluino interactions in Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) to B->PP (PP =Kpi, pipi, KK) decays using QCD improved factorization method for the evaluation of the hadronic matrix elements and taking into account renormalization group running of the Wilson coefficients from SUSY scale (~ m_{\tilde q}) to the low energy scale (= m_b) applicable to B decays. Using the most recent experimental data we obtain constraints on flavor changing Supersymmetric (SUSY) parameters (\delta_{ij})_{LL, RR}. For \Delta S = -1 processes, b-> s gamma is usually considered to give the strongest limits. We, however, find that in some part of the parameter space B-> Kpi processes give stronger bounds. Implications for B^0_s -\bar B^0_s mixing is discussed. We also study cons traints obtained from \Delta S = 0 processes B-> pipi, KK, rho gamma and B_d -\bar B_d mixing. In this case, in a large part of the parameter space B_d - \bar B_d provides the best bound, but B-> K^- K^0, rho gamma can still give interesting constraints in a complementary region of the parameter space.

title: New Source of CP Violation in B Physics
abstract: In this talk we discuss how the down type left-right squark mixing in Supersymmetry can induce a new source of CP violation in the time dependent asymmtries in B --> phi K process. We use QCD improved factorization process to calculate the hadronic matrix element for the process and find the allowed parameter space for $\rho $ and $\phi $, the magnitude and phase of the down type LR(RL) squark mixing parameter $\delta^{bs}_{LR(RL)}$. In the same allowed regin we calculate the expected CP asymmtries in the $B \to \phi K^{*}$ process.

title: Exploring two universal extra dimensions at the CERN LHC
abstract: A bstractWe discuss the signatures, at the LHC, of the (1,0)-th Kaluza-Klein (KK) gluon and quarks in the framework of the two universal extra dimensional (2UED) model. Once produced, these particles typically suffer a cascade of decays terminating in the Dark Matter candidate apart from Standard Model particles. In this article, we are interested in focus on a particular signature of 2UED wherein the final state comprises of at least four jets in association with a hard photon and missing transverse energy. Several kinematic cuts are devised to enhance the signal to background ratio. Finally, as a road map to parameter determination at the LHC, we point out an interesting correlation between the peak position of the Meff distributions with the compactification radius R and the cut-off scale Ms.

title: Signatures of noncommutative QED at photon colliders
abstract: In this paper we study non-commutative (NC) QED signatures at photon colliders through pair production of charged leptons(l + l ) and charged scalars(H + H ). The NC corrections for the fermion pair production can be easily obtained since NC QED with fermions has been extensively studied in the literature. NC QED with scalars is less studied. To obtain the cross section for H + H productions, we first investigate the structure of NC QED with scalars, and then study the corrections due to the NC geometry to the ordinary QED cross sections. Finally by folding in the photon spectra for a γγ collider with laser back-scattered photons from the e + e machine, we obtain 95% CL lower bound on the NC scale using the above two processes. We find that, with √ s = 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 TeV and integrated luminosity L = 500(fb 1 ), the NC scale up to 0.7, 1.2, and 1.6 TeV can be probed, respectively, while, for monochromatic photon beams, these numbers become 1.1, 1.7, 2.6 TeV, respectively.
