Linear collider signal of a Wino LSP in anomaly mediated scenarios
Selectron (smuon) pair-production in a next generation Linear Collider, yielding a fast electron (muon) trigger, a visible heavily ionizing track and/or a resolved soft pion impact parameter and overall slashed-ET, is shown to provide a smoking gun signature for Anomaly Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking models with a neutral Wino as the Lightest Supersymmetric Particle, nearly mass-degenerate with the lighter chargino.

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: 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: 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: 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: Multidimensional intermittency study of target fragments at CERN SPS energies
abstract: An investigation on the presence of ring and jet-like structures is carried out in the angular emission of target-evaporated slow particles emitted in 16 O–Ag/Br interactions at 60 A GeV/c and 32 S–Ag/Br interactions at 200 A GeV/c. The nuclear emulsion technique was employed to collect the experimental data. We compared our experimental results with those obtained from Monte Carlo simulations. The analysis indicates the presence of ring and jet-like structures in the experimental data beyond the statistical noise. The presence of ring-like structure is fairly pronounced in 16 O–Ag/Br interactions compared to 32 S–Ag/Br interactions and jet-like structure is more distinct in 32 S. One dimensional (1d) intermittency for ring-like structures and two dimensional (2d) intermittency for jet-like structures are expected. The self-affine behavior of 2d scaled factorial moments (SFM) were investigated and the strength of 2d intermittency was determined. For each set of data, the 2d results were compared with the corresponding one-dimensional (1d) intermittency results. The strength in 2d is significantly greater than 1d for 32 S–Ag/Br interactions whereas for 16 O–Ag/Br interactions 1d is greater than 2d. This is also a sign of predominance of jets in 32 S–Ag/Br and the rings in 16 O–Ag/Br interactions.

title: Event-to-Event Fluctuation Analysis for Pions and Protons at SPS Energy
abstract: This study reports a detailed analysis of spatial fluctuations as well as event-to-event fluctuations of compound hadrons (pions + protons) produced in 32S–AgBr interactions at 200 AGeV with a new technique known as erraticity analysis. This analysis is done for both emission-angle and azimuthal-angle phase spaces using gap-moment method. The study provides a strong evidence of erratic behavior of compound hadrons in ultra-relativistic nuclear collisions.

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: Fluctuations of rapidity gaps in nucleus nucleus collisions: Evidence of erraticity
abstract: The fluctuations of the spatial pattern from event to event have been investigated by analyzing the data of multipion production ${\mathrm{in}}^{24}\mathrm{Mg}\ensuremath{-}\mathrm{AgBr}$ interactions ${\mathrm{and}}^{12}\mathrm{C}\ensuremath{-}\mathrm{AgBr}$ interactions at $4.5A\mathrm{GeV}$ and ${}^{16}\mathrm{O}\ensuremath{-}\mathrm{AgBr}$ interactions at $2.1A\mathrm{GeV}$ and $60A\mathrm{GeV}.$ Two entropylike quantities ${S}_{q}$ and ${\ensuremath{\Sigma}}_{q}$ have been estimated from two different moments of rapidity gaps of produced pions. The investigation provides evidence of the erraticity of rapidity gaps of produced pions in relativistic nuclear collisions.
