SIGNALS FOR A GAUGE MEDIATED SUPERSYMMETRY BREAKING MODEL AT A FUTURE e-e- COLLIDER
We study the pair-production and decay of right selectrons of a Gauge Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking Model in the polarised e-e- interaction. Detailed analyses of the possible signals and backgrounds are performed for five selected points in the parameter space. We also show that judicious choice of polarisation of the initial electron beam can almost kill the possible Standard Model backgrounds.

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.

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.

Collider Signatures for Heavy Lepton Triplet in Type I+III Seesaw
The minimal SU(5) theory augmented by the fermionic adjoint representation restores the coupling constant unification and gives realistic neutrino masses and mixing through the hybrid Type I and Type III seesaw. The crucial prediction of the theory is an SU(2) lepton triplet with the mass below TeV. We study the signature of these heavy leptons and propose the strategy to test this mechanism at the hadron and lepton colliders. The smoking gun evidence of the theory is Delta L=2 lepton number violation through events of a pair of like-sign leptons plus four jets without significant missing energy at hadron colliders. We find that via this unique channel, the heavy lepton can be searched for up to a mass of 200 GeV at the Tevatron with 8 fb^-1, and up to 450 (700) GeV at the LHC of 14 TeV C.M.energy with 10 (100) fb^-1. The signal rate at the 10 TeV LHC is reduced to 60-35% for a mass of 200-700 GeV. We also comment on how to distinguish this theory from other models with similar heavy leptons. Finally, we compare the production rates and angular distributions of heavy leptons in e+e- collisions for various 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.

FLUCTUATION OF PIONS IN RELATIVISTIC AND ULTRARELATIVISTIC NUCLEAR COLLISIONS - SCALE DEPENDENT OR NOT?
Fluctuation pattern of pions is investigated in a wide range of projectile energy from 4.5 AGeV ( 24 Mg-AgBr interactions) to 200 AGeV ( 32 S-AgBr interactions). Two-dimensional analysis is performed. To obtain the correct phase-space partition condition considering anisotropy of phase space, we use the concept of Hurst exponent H. The analysis is performed in a rigorous way by fitting one-dimensional factorial moment saturation curves. The effective fluctuation strength αeff is calculated. The study reveals that the fluctuation pattern is scale-dependent at both relativistic and ultrarelativistic energies.

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.

Entropy scaling in high-energy nucleus–nucleus interactions
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.

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.
