Dijet signals of the little Higgs model with T-parity
A bstractThe Littest Higgs model with T-parity (LHT), apart from offering a viable solution to the naturalness problem of the Standard Model, also predicts a set of new fermions as well as a candidate for dark matter. We explore the possibility of discovering the heavy T-odd quark QH at the LHC in a final state comprising two hard jets with a large missing transverse momentum. Also discussed is the role of heavy flavor tagging.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Multiplicity fluctuations of pions and protons at SPS energy — An in-depth analysis with factorial correlator
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.

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).

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.

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.
