Constraining R-parity violating couplings from B→PP decays using QCD improved factorization method
We investigate the role of R-parity violating interaction in the non-leptonic decays of B mesons into two light mesons B→PP. The decay amplitudes are calculated using the QCD improved factorization method. Using the combined data on B decays from BaBar, Belle and CLEO, we obtain strong constraints on the various products of R-parity violating couplings. Many of these new constraints are stronger than the existing bounds.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Assessment of erratic fluctuations of pions and protons in hadron–nucleus interactions
Erraticity analysis using the gap moment method is performed using the experimental data of π−–AgBr interactions at 200 and 350 GeV both for pions and compound hadrons (pions + protons). The entropy like quantity Sq has been calculated at two different energies. The variation of Sq with q and their dependence on multiplicity of charged particles are investigated also. The study reveals the positive indication of the presence of erratic nature of event-by-event fluctuations of gap distributions of produced pions and compound hadrons in emission angle (cos θ) space in relativistic hadron–nucleus interaction.

Event-to-Event Fluctuation Analysis for Pions and Protons at SPS Energy
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.

Multiplicity scaling of target protons in high-energy nucleus-nucleus and hadron-nucleus interactions
Multiplicity scaling of target protons emitted from nucleus?nucleus (16O?AgBr interactions at 2.1 AGeV and 32S?AgBr interactions at 200 AGeV), pion?nucleus (???AgBr interactions at 350 GeV/c) and proton?nucleus interactions (p?AgBr interactions at 200 GeV/c) has been investigated. The experimental points are found to lie approximately on the curve described by ?(z) = Azexp?( ? Bz) with A = 3.36 ? 0.19 and B = 1.74 ? 0.06 for all the four interactions. A comparison of the fit with the function ?(z) = (Az + Bz3 + Cz5 + Dz7)exp?( ? Ez) has also been performed.
