Signals for R-parity violating supersymmetry at a 500-GeV e+ e- collider
We investigate the production of charginos and neutralinos at a 500 GeV e + e − collider (NLC) and study their decays to the lightest neutralino, which then decays into multifermion final states through couplings which do not conserve R-parity. These couplings are assumed to affect only the decay of the lightest neutralino. Detailed analyses of the possible signals and backgrounds are performed for five selected points in the parameter space.

title: Constraining anomaly mediated supersymmetry breaking framework via ongoing muon g − 2 experiment at Brookhaven
abstract: The ongoing high precision E821 Brookhaven National Laboratory experiment on muon $g\ensuremath{-}2$ is promising to probe a theory involving supersymmetry. We have studied the constraints on the minimal anomaly mediated supersymmetry breaking (AMSB) model using the current data of muon $g\ensuremath{-}2$ from Brookhaven. A scenario of seeing no deviation from the standard model is also considered, within a $2\ensuremath{\sigma}$ limit of the combined error from the standard model result and the Brookhaven predicted uncertainty level. The resulting constraint is found to be complementary to what one obtains from $\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{b}s+\ensuremath{\gamma}$ bounds within the AMSB scenario, since only a definite sign of $\ensuremath{\mu}$ is effectively probed via $\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{b}s+\ensuremath{\gamma}.$ A few relevant generic features of the model are also described for disallowed regions of parameter space.

title: Invisible decays of Higgs and other mesons in models with singlet neutrinos in large extra dimensions
abstract: In light of current atmospheric neutrino oscillation data, we revisit the invisible decay of the standard model Higgs boson and other pseudoscalar mesons which can be enhanced because of large number of KK modes in models with right-handed singlet neutrinos in large extra dimensions. We find that the invisible decay rate of Higgs can be as large as H→b b decay rate only for a very restricted region of parameter space. This parameter space is even further restricted if one demands that the dimensionless neutrino Yukawa coupling λ is O (1). We have also studied the scenarios where singlet neutrino propagate in a sub-space, which lowers the string scale M ∗ and keeps neutrino Yukawa coupling O (1). We have also considered decays of other spin-0 mesons to ν ν and found the rates to be too small for measurement.

title: Study of single sneutrino production in association with fermion pairs at polarized photon colliders
abstract: We investigate single sneutrino production in the context of R-parity-violating supersymmetry at future ?? linear colliders. The sneutrino is produced in association with fermion pairs and it is shown that its decays into two further fermions will lead to a clean signal. We also discuss possible standard model backgrounds and the effects of beam polarization.

title: Signals for gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking model at an e−e− collider
abstract: We study the pair-production and decay of right handed selectrons within a Gauge Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking Model in polarised e−e− interaction. Detailed analyses of the possible signals and backgrounds are performed for a few selected points in the parameter space. A judicious choice for polarisation of the initial electron beam helps eliminate almost the entire Standard Model background. We also show that phase space distributions can be used to distinguish such a supersummetry breaking scheme from the supergravity inspired models.

title: Working group report: Physics at the Large Hadron Collider
abstract: This is a summary of the activities of the Physics at the LHC working group in the XIth Workshop on High Energy Physics Phenomenology (WHEPP-XI) held at the Physical Research Laboratory, Ahmedabad, India in January 2010. We discuss the activities of each sub-working group on physics issues at colliders such as Tevatron and Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The main issues discussed involve (1) results on W mass measurement and associated QCD uncertainties, (2) an attempt to understand the asymmetry measured at Tevatron in the top quark production, and (3) phenomenology of warped space dimension model.

title: FLUCTUATION OF PIONS IN RELATIVISTIC AND ULTRARELATIVISTIC NUCLEAR COLLISIONS - SCALE DEPENDENT OR NOT?
abstract: Fluctuation pattern of pions is investigated in a wide range of projectile energy from 4.5 AGeV ( 24 Mg-AgBr interactions) to 200 AGeV ( 32 S-AgBr interactions). Two-dimensional analysis is performed. To obtain the correct phase-space partition condition considering anisotropy of phase space, we use the concept of Hurst exponent H. The analysis is performed in a rigorous way by fitting one-dimensional factorial moment saturation curves. The effective fluctuation strength αeff is calculated. The study reveals that the fluctuation pattern is scale-dependent at both relativistic and ultrarelativistic energies.

title: Evidence of scaling of void probability in nucleus-nucleus interactions at few GeV energy
abstract: 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: Chaos analysis of nuclear fragments in high energy collisions
abstract: This paper deals with fixed target AGS and SPS data of beam energies 14.5 and 200 A GeV respectively. A detailed study on chaos in the nuclear fragmentation process of 28Si–AgBr interactions at 14.5 A GeV and 32S–AgBr interactions at 200 A GeV has been performed using a new parameter, the entropy index. The analysis provides new data on the evidence of the erratic behavior of the target fragments signifying chaotic target fragmentation and also quantify the measure for chaos in high and ultra-high energy heavy-ion interactions. Further, it is also observed that the target fragmentation process becomes less chaotic with the increase of average multiplicities of the final states.

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.
