SELF-AFFINE SCALING AND NON-THERMAL PHASE TRANSITION IN TARGET FRAGMENTS OF MUON–NUCLEUS INTERACTIONS AT HIGH ENERGY
In this paper non-thermal phase transition for the target fragments of lepton–nucleus interactions at (420±45) GeV is studied in the framework of two-dimensional factorial moment methodology using the concept of Hurst exponent (H) to take care of anisotropic phase space. An indication of non-thermal phase transition is obtained where the anisotropic scaling behavior (self affinity) of dynamical fluctuation is best revealed (H = 0.8).

title: Evidence of different reaction mechanisms for hot and cold events in relativistic heavy-ion interaction
abstract: This paper reports evidence of different reaction mechanisms for two classes of events, ''hot,'' and ''cold,'' in /sup 12/C emulsion at 4.5 (GeV/c)/N observed by Ghosh et al., from a comparison of the transverse-momentum (P/sub T/) distribution with a mixture of two Maxwell-Boltzmann distributions with different temperatures. The hypothesis is substantiated by the significant difference, for ''hot'' and ''cold'' events, in the values of the average number of pions produced, average emission angle of ..cap alpha..-projectile fragments, and ratio of yield of ..cap alpha.. particles to protons as projectile fragments.

title: Entropy scaling in high-energy nucleus–nucleus interactions
abstract: We studied the multiparticle production in high-energy nucleus–nucleus interactions in terms of particle entropy in 16O–AgBr and 32S–AgBr interactions at 60 A GeV and 200 A GeV, respectively. An approximate scaling behavior of total produced entropy normalized to maximum rapidity in the center of mass frame measured in different rapidity bins has been reported. The scaling behavior is not supported either by the FRITIOF model or by the Monte Carlo simulated events.

title: MULTIPLICITY DISTRIBUTION AND MULTIPLICITY MOMENT OF BLACK AND GREY PARTICLES IN HIGH ENERGY NUCLEUS–NUCLEUS INTERACTIONS
abstract: In this paper we have studied the multiplicity distribution of black and grey particles emitted from 16O–AgBr interactions at 2.1 AGeV and 60 AGeV. We have also calculated the multiplicity moment up to the fifth order for both the interactions and for both kinds of emitted particles. The variation of multiplicity moment with the order number has been investigated. It is seen that in the case of black particles multiplicity moment up to fourth order remains almost constant as energy increases from 2.1 AGeV to 60 AGeV. Fifth order multiplicity moment increases insignificantly with energy. However in the case of grey particles no such constancy of multiplicity moment with energy of the projectile beam is obtained. Later we have extended our study on the basis of Regge–Mueller approach to find the existence of second order correlation during the emission of black as well as the grey particles. The second Mueller moment is found to be positive and it increases as energy increases in the case of black particles. On the contrary in the case of grey particles the second Mueller moment decreases with energy. It can be concluded that as energy increases correlation among the black particles increases. On the other hand with the increase of energy correlation among the grey particles is found to diminish.

title: Multiplicity fluctuations of pions and protons at SPS energy — An in-depth analysis with factorial correlator
abstract: We compute the factorial correlators to study the dynamical fluctuations of pions and a combination of pions and protons (compound multiplicity) in 32S-AgBr interactions at 200 A GeV. The study reveals that for both pion and compound multiplicity the correlated moments increase with the decrease in bin-bin separation D, following a power-law, which suggests the self-similarity of multiplicity fluctuation in each case. The results of the analysis also show a consistency with the prediction of α-model for the existence of intermittency in both cases.

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: R -parity violating supersymmetric explanation for the CDF W j j excess
abstract: Recently CDF has reported a 4.1 sigma excess in the distribution of the dijet invariant mass between 120-160 GeV in Wjj event sample in 7.3 fb^{-1} of data, which has generated considerable interest. We offer a possible explanation of this observation in the general framework of MSSM with R-parity violation through resonance production of tau sneutrino decaying into the LSP stau_1 and W boson. We also give the predictions of this scenario for the LHC operating at 7 TeV center of mass energy.

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: 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: LHC signals of T-odd heavy quarks in the Littlest Higgs model
abstract: Recently proposed Little Higgs models present a viable solution to the naturalness problem of the Standard Model. An additional discrete symmetry, called T-parity, has been included in the simplest Little Higgs models to evade the constraints arising from electroweak precision data. The Littlest Higgs model with T-parity (LHT) not only predicts a set of new fermions in addition to the heavy gauge bosons of the original Little Higgs model, but also provides a new candidate for dark matter. In this paper, we study two particularly interesting signatures of T-odd fermion pair production at the LHC, namely, (a) jj+l+l−+ and (b) jj+b+l±+. Using a parton level Monte Carlo event generator, we evaluate both the signal as well as the standard model background profile for a selected set of model parameters thereby developing a good discriminator. Finally, we scan the parameter space and delineate the possible discovery region in the same.

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.
