Quantum violation of stochastic noncontextual hidden-variable theories.
We formulate stochastic noncontextual hidden-variable theories. In such theories the hidden state λ specifies not definite values, but expectation values A − (λ), ... of observables A, ... and noncontextuality means that A − (λ) is independent of which other commuting observables commuting with A are measured together with A. We show via Bell inequalities that such theories conflict with quantum theory and propose a two-photon experimental test. We also show that for a single particle of spin (2 n −1)/2, quantum violation of classical noncontextuality grows exponentially with n.

psi particles, SU(4), and anomalous currents
We propose assignment of the new ψ particles in an SU(4) symmetry scheme, incorporating SU(3) and a new additive quantum number, paracharge Z. Anomalous currents are introduced to account for the production and decays of these particles. Two more rather broad resonances at around 4.3 and 5.0 (±0.2) GeV are expected in the e + e - annihilation, one of which has recently been reported (at 4.15 GeV).

JOINT PROBABILITIES REPRODUCING THREE EPR EXPERIMENTS ON TWO QUBITS
An eight-parameter family of the most general non-negative quadruple probabilities is constructed for EPR–Bohm–Aharonov experiments when only three pairs of analyser settings are used. It is a simultaneous representation of three different Bohr-incompatible experimental configurations involving mutually noncommuting observables valid for arbitrary quantum states.

Unitarity upper bound on the absorptive parts of elastic scattering amplitudes
We derive a unitarity upper bound on the absorptive part A(s, t) of the elastic-scattering amplitude in the physical region. In the diffraction peak region the bound on A(s, t)/A(s, 0) is a function only of the parameter σ tot 2 (−t)/4πσ el . Assuming the diffraction scattering to be purely absorptive and spin independent we find the pp, pp, and π ± p data to lie a little below the theoretical upper bound. Further the experimental curve of X(t)/X(0) vs −4tX(0)/σ el , where X(t)≡dσ/dt, seems "universal."

Rigorous sum rules and bounds on pion-pion scattering lengths
Abstract We deduce from axiomatic field theory rigorous sum rules, and upper and lower bounds on S-and P-wave ππ scattering lenghts in terms of physical region forward ππ amplitudes, and also absolute sum rule inequalities on those amplitudes involving pion mass alone.

Bianchi Type-I Cosmological Model Filled with Viscous Fluid in a Modified Brans-Dicke Cosmology
Adding the cosmological term, which is assumed to be variable in Brans-Dicke theory we have discussed about a Bianchi type-I cosmological model filled with viscous fluid with free gravitational field of Petrov type-D. The effect of viscousity on various kinematical parameters has been discussed. Finally, this model has been transformed to the original form (1961) of Brans-Dicke theory including a variable cosmological term.

Some Anisotropic Homogeneous Cosmological Models in Self-creation Cosmology
The paper presents an exact solution of cylindrically symmetric cosmological models which are of Petrov type-I or Petov type-D in Barber’s second self-creation theory of gravitation. Some physical and geometrical properties of these models are also discussed.

Determination of shell correction energies at saddle point using pre-scission neutron multiplicities
Abstract Pre-scission neutron multiplicities have been measured for 12 C +  194, 198 Pt systems at matching excitation energies at near Coulomb barrier region. Statistical model analysis with a modified fission barrier and level density prescription have been carried out to fit the measured pre-scission neutron multiplicities and the available evaporation residue and fission cross sections simultaneously to constrain statistical model parameters. Simultaneous fitting of the pre-scission neutron multiplicities and cross section data requires shell correction at the saddle point.

System size dependence of hadron $p_T$ spectra in p+p and Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV
We make a systematic study of transverse momentum ($p_T$) spectra of hadrons produced in $p+p$ and in different centralities of Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s}=200$\,GeV using phenomenological fit functions. The Tsallis distribution gives a very good description of hadron spectra in $p+p$ collisions with just two parameters but does not produce the same in Au+Au collisions at intermediate $p_{T}$. To explain the hadron spectra in heavy ion collisions in a wider $p_{T}$ range we propose a modified Tsallis function by introducing an additional parameter which accounts for collective flow. The new analytical function gives a very good description of both mesons and baryons spectra at all centralities of Au+Au collisions in terms of parameters having a potential physics interpretation. With this modified Tsallis function we study the spectra of pions, kaons, protons, $\Lambda(1115)$ and $\Xi^{-}$ as a function of system size at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV. The parameter representing transverse flow increases with system size and is found to be more far baryons than that for mesons in central Au+Au collisions. The freeze-out temperature for baryons increases with centrality in Au+Au collisions more rapidly than for mesons.
