Fluctuations of rapidity gaps in nucleus nucleus collisions: Evidence of erraticity
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.

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: 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: 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: 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: 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: Can the Aleph four-jet excess be explained in a supersymmetric model with R-parity violation?
abstract: We investigate the possibility that the excess of four-jet events in e+e− collisions at LEP-1.5 which has been reported by the ALEPH Collaboration could be due to the production of charginos or neutralinos, followed by their decay into quark jets through baryon number-violating (λ″) couplings. An estimate at the parton level shows, however, that these events cannot be due to neutralinos because of the low cross-section, and is unlikely to be due to the production of chargino pairs because of the largely different event shapes.

title: Unraveling unparticles through violation of atomic parity and rare beauty
abstract: We put constraints on unparticle physics, specifically on the scale Λ U and the scale dimension d U of unparticle operators, using (i) measurements of atomic parity violation as well as (ii) branching ratio and CP-asymmetry measurements in some rare non-leptonic B decay channels.

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: Implications of the 98 GeV and 125 GeV Higgs scenarios in nondecoupling supersymmetry with updated ATLAS, CMS, and PLANCK data
abstract: We discuss both MSSM and NMSSM scenarios in which the lightest Higgs boson with $m_h=98$~GeV is consistent with the small excess ($\sim 2.3 \sigma$) observed at the LEP in $e^+ e^-\rightarrow Zh$, with $h \rightarrow b {\bar b}$ process and the heavier Higgs boson of mass close to 125~GeV as the observed candidate of the SM Higgs like particle at the LHC. We show the allowed regions in the non-decoupling Higgs zone of MSSM parameter space which are consistent with several low energy constraints coming from heavy flavour physics, latest experimental data on Higgs signals and lower limit on superparticle masses from 7~TeV and 8~TeV LHC run. We also implement the constraints from the relic density of the cold dark matter as obtained from the recent PLANCK data. Additionally, we discuss the possibility of observing the light Higgs boson of mass 98~GeV at the 14~TeV LHC run via $pp \rightarrow V h$, with $h \rightarrow b \bar b$ using the technique of jet substructure. Our analysis shows that at 14~TeV LHC run with 300 ${\rm fb}^{-1}$ luminosity the signal efficiency of such a light Higgs boson is at most 2.5$\sigma$. Finally, we make a comment on the prospect of proposed $e^+ e^-$ ILC to discover/exclude this light Higgs boson.

title: Probing the light Higgs pole resonance annihilation of dark matter in the light of XENON100 and CDMS-II observations
abstract: We consider the prospect of lightest neutralino (χ 0 1 ) as a dark matter candidate in light of recent interesting observations from the XENON100 and CDMS-II experiments in minimal supergravity framework with large tanβ and nonvanishing A 0 . Within the WMAP satisfied zone, there is a large direct detection reach of lighter χ 0 1 in the lighter Higgs boson mediated resonance annihilation domain of the above scenario. It is seen that the heavier Higgs boson plays a dominating role in the χ 0 1 - p cross section in the associated zone of parameter space in spite of having a larger mass. Possible LHC signatures are discussed.
