QCD analysis of polarized parton densities
We present the results of QCD fits to global data on deep-inelastic polarized lepton-hadron scattering. We find that it is possible to fit the data with strongly broken SU(2) flavor for the polarized sea densities. This can be tested in W production at the polarized BNL RHIC. The data fail to pin down polarized singlet sea quark and gluon densities. We explore the uncertainties in detail and show that improvement in statistics, achievable at the polarized DESY HERA for measurement of A 1 at moderately low values of x, have large payoffs in terms of the improvement in measurement of gluon densities.

Study of single sneutrino production in association with fermion pairs at polarized photon colliders
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.

Constraining anomaly mediated supersymmetry breaking framework via ongoing muon g − 2 experiment at Brookhaven
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.

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.

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.

Signals for gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking model at an e−e− collider
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.

Chaos analysis of nuclear fragments in high energy collisions
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.

MULTIPLICITY DISTRIBUTION AND MULTIPLICITY MOMENT OF BLACK AND GREY PARTICLES IN HIGH ENERGY NUCLEUS–NUCLEUS INTERACTIONS
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.

VOID ANALYSIS OF TARGET RESIDUES AT SPS ENERGY
This paper presents new data on void analysis of target residues in ultrarelativistic nucleus–nucleus interaction. The study reveals a set of interesting observations. Void probability shows a scaling behavior at high energy (32S–AgBr interactions at 200 A GeV) in both forward and backward hemisphere. Whereas such behavior is absent at low energy (16O–AgBr interactions at 60 A GeV) in backward hemisphere.

Multifractality in charged pion production at a few GeV/n
The multifractal analysis of charged pion produced in 16O–AgBr interactions at 2.1 AGeV and 24Mg–AgBr interactions at 4.5 AGeV has been investigated using the Takagi moment method in pseudo-rapidity space. The generalized fractal dimensions Dq are determined for these two interactions for different orders of moment. Experimental data reflects multifractal geometry in the multipion production process. From the knowledge of the generalized fractal dimensions Dq, the multifractal specific heat has also been evaluated for these data. A detailed comparison is presented with the results obtained from 12C–AgBr and 28Si–AgBr interactions at 4.5 AGeV/c, 28Si–AgBr interactions at 14.5 A GeV/c, 16O–AgBr interactions 60 AGeV and 32S–AgBr interactions 200 AGeV from the recent literatures.

Characteristics of pion production in ring-like events using entropy index
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.
