Quark mixing angles for composite quarks in a Bethe-Salpeter model
Assuming that physical quarks belonging to various generations are radial excitations of the bound states of a pair of massive constituent fermions and a scalar governed by the scalar-spinor Bethe-Salpeter equation with a harmonic kernel, we employ the instantaneous approximation to calculate relativistic corrections to the Kobayashi-Maskawa quark mixing matrix. We find that the corrections are not large if the quark mass differences are small compared to the constituent masses.

Neutral-current cross sections for double-pion production by neutrinos
We have derived expressions for the differential cross sections for two-pion production by the neutral current in a neutrino-induced hadron reaction. We assume a general V, A form of the neutral current with arbitrary admixture of isotopic scalar and vector parts and utilize the algebra of currents and the PCAC (partial conservation of the axial-vector current) hypothesis to obtain the amplitude for ..nu.. + N ..-->.. ..nu.. + N + ..pi.. + ..pi... Two different cases have been studied: (i) Both the outgoing pions are at threshold. (ii) They are produced via the formation of N*. The results are useful to examine the structure of the neutral current.

HIGH-ORDER LOW-ENERGY THEOREMS FOR NUCLEON COMPTON SCATTERING.
The well-known zero- and first-order (in photon energy) low-energy theorems for nucleon Compton scattering have recently been derived by Abarbanel and Goldberger using only the physical helicity amplitudes for the process and exploiting their kinematical singularities and zeros. We use this approach to study higher-order terms in photon energy and find the result, not entirely new, that four of the six independent helicity amplitudes are determined in second order by the mass, charge, and magnetic moment of the nucleon. Therefore, these parameters together with two structure-dependent constants, which can be interpreted approximately as electric and magnetic polarizabilities, completely determine the Compton scattering to second order in energy. Similar simplifications occurring in the structure of higher-order terms in energy are also discussed. The kinematical singularity structure of helicity amplitudes is a manifestation of Lorentz invariance. We claim to have fully exploited the requirements of Lorentz invariance and therefore to have derived the complete set of low-energy theorems for this process.

Relativistic oscillator in a Bethe-Salpeter model: Nonexistence of discrete bound states
We investigate the solutions of the covariant Bethe-Salpeter equation for bound states of a scalar quark-antiquark system with an effective confining kernel which in coordinate four-space behaves as ${R}^{2}$. Using a suitable set of new variables we separate the equation into one-dimensional equations and study the eigenvalue problem. We find that the covariant bound-state Bethe-Salpeter equation with the above kernel possesses only a continuous spectrum.

Features of warped geometry in presence of Gauss-Bonnet coupling
A bstractWe study the role of the Gauss-Bonnet corrections and two loop higher genus contribution to the gravity action on the Kaluza-Klien modes and their interactions for different bulk fields which enable one to study various phenomenological implications of string loop corrected Gauss-Bonnet modified warped geometry model in one canvas. We have explicitly derived a phenomenological bound on the Gauss-Bonnet parameter so that the required Planck to TeV scale hierarchy can be achieved through the warp factor in the light of recently discovered Higgs like boson at 125GeV. Moreover due to the presence of small perturbative Gauss-Bonnet as well as string loop corrections we have shown that the warping solution can be obtained for both de-Sitter and anti-de-Sitter bulk which is quite distinct from Randall-Sundrum scenario. Finally we have evaluated various interactions among these bulk fields and determined the coupling parameters and the Kaluza-Klien mode masses which is crucial to understand the phenomenology of a string two loop corrected Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet warp geometry.

Collider constraints on Gauss-Bonnet coupling in warped geometry model
In this paper the requirement of a warp solution in an Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet 5D warped geometry is shown to fix the signature of Gauss-Bonnet coupling ($\alpha_{5}$). Further, imposing the phenomenological constraints, obtained from the recently observed Higgs like scalar mass as well as $\mu$ parameter of the decay channels ${H}_{0}\rightarrow\gamma\gamma,\tau{\bar \tau}$ explored in ATLAS and CMS detectors, we obtain a stringent bound on $\alpha_{5}$ within $(4.8 - 5.1)\times 10^{-7}$.

Fourth level MSSM inflation from new flat directions
We propose a model of inflation driven by minimal extension of SUSY, commonly known as MSSM. Starting from gauge invariant flat directions in the n = 4 level comprising of QQQL,QuQd,QuLe and uude, we construct the inflaton potential and employ it to investigate for its consequences around the saddle point arising from the non-vanishing fourth derivative of the original potential. To this end, we derive the expressions for the important parameters in MSSM inflation using the loop corrected potential. We further estimate the observable parameters and find them to fit well with recent observational data from WMAP7 by using the code CAMB. We also explore the possibility of primordial black hole formation from our model. Finally, we analyze one loop RGE and compute different phenomenological parameters which could be precisely determined in LHC or future Linear Colliders.

Reheating and leptogenesis in a SUGRA inspired brane inflation
Abstract We have studied extensively phenomenological implications in a specific model of brane inflation driven by background supergravity (Choudhury and Pal, 2011) [1] , via thermal history of the universe and leptogenesis pertaining to the particle physics phenomenology of the early universe. Using the one loop corrected inflationary potential we have investigated for the analytical expression as well as the numerical estimation for brane reheating temperature for standard model particles. This results in some novel features of reheating from this type of inflation which have serious implications in the production of heavy Majorana neutrinos needed for leptogenesis through the reheating temperature. We have also derived the expressions for the gravitino abundance during reheating and radiation dominated era. We have further estimated different parameters at the epoch of phase transition and revealed their salient features. At the end we have explicitly given an estimate of the amount of CP violation through the effective CP phase which is related to baryon asymmetry as well as gravitino dark matter abundance.

Thermodynamics of Charged Kalb Ramond AdS black hole in presence of Gauss-Bonnet coupling
We study the role of the Gauss-Bonnet corrections to the gravity action on the charged AdS black hole in presence of rank 3 antisymmetric Kalb Ramond tensor field strength. Analyzing the branch singularity and the killing horizon, we explicitly derive various thermodynamic parameters and study their behaviour in presence of five dimensional Gauss-Bonnet coupling in AdS space-time. The possibility of a second order phase transition is explored in the light of AdS/CMT correspondence and various critical exponents associated with the discontinuities of the various thermodynamic parameters are determined. We further comment on the universality of the well known Rushbrooke Josephson scaling law and derive a relation between the degree of homogeneity appearing in various free energies and the critical exponents by homogeneous hypothesis test. By making use of the constraints appearing from Hawking temperature and Gauss-Bonnet extended gravity version of Kubo formula we introduce a bound on the five dimensional Gauss-Bonnet coupling and the viscosity entropy ratio in the four dimensional holographic Conformal Field Theory (CFT) dual. This yields a fractional deviation in viscosity entropy ratio from the result obtained from Einstein gravity.
