Unitarity constraints on the stabilized Randall–Sundrum scenario
The recently proposed stabilization mechanism of the Randall–Sundrum metric gives rise to a scalar radion, which couples universally to matter with a weak interaction (1 TeV) scale. Demanding that gauge boson scattering as described by the effective low-energy theory be unitary up to a given scale leads to significant constraints on the mass of such a radion.

Low-energy theorems for spin-1 Compton scattering
SummaryUsing analyticity, the classical low-energy theorems are derived for Compton scattering of a spin-1 target. Exploiting the threshold behavior we are also able to derive the quadrupole-moment theorem recently given by Pais.RiassuntoUsando l’analiticità, si derivano i teoremi classici di bassa energia per lo scattering Compton di un bersaglio di spin 1. Sfruttando l’andamento alla soglia siamo anche in grado di dedurre il teorema del momento di quadrupolo enunciato recentemente da Pais.РезюмеИспользуя аналитичность, выводятся классические теоремы малых энергий для комптоновского рассеяния на мишени со спином 1. Воспользовавшись пороговым поведением, мы также можем получить теорему квадрупольного момента, недавно полученную Пейсом.

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.

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.

Study of the flavor changing neutral current decay mode B ---> K gamma gamma
We study the neutral current flavour changing rare decay mode $B\to K \gamma \gamma $ within the framework of Standard Model, including the long distance contributions. It is found that these long distance contributions can larger than the short distance contribution.

Brane inflation in background supergravity
We propose a model of inflation in the framework of brane cosmology driven by background supergravity. Starting from bulk supergravity we construct the inflaton potential on the brane and employ it to investigate for the consequences to inflationary paradigm. To this end, we derive the expressions for the important parameters in brane inflation, which are somewhat different from their counterparts in standard cosmology, using the one loop radiative corrected potential. We further estimate the observable parameters and find them to fit well with recent observational data by confronting with WMAP7 using CAMB. We also analyze the typical energy scale of brane inflation with our model, which resonates well with present estimates from cosmology and standard model of particle physics.

Brane inflation: A field theory approach in background supergravity
We propose a model of inflation in the framework of brane cosmology driven by background supergravity. Starting from bulk supergravity we construct the inflaton potential on the brane and employ it to investigate for the consequences to inflationary paradigm. To this end, we derive the expressions for the important parameters in brane inflation, which are somewhat different from their counterparts in standard cosmology, using the one loop radiative corrected potential. We further estimate the observable parameters and find them to fit well with recent observational data. We have studied extensively reheating phenomenology, which explains the thermal history of the universe and leptogenesis through the production of thermal gravitino pertaining to the particle physics phenomenology of the early universe.

Galileogenesis: A new cosmophenomenological zip code for reheating through R-parity violating coupling
In this paper we introduce an idea of leptogenesis scenario in higher derivative gravity induced DBI Galileon framework aka Galileog enesis in presence of one-loop R-parity violating couplings in the background of a low energy effective supergravity setup derived from higher dimensional string theory framework. We have studied extensively the detailed feature of reheating constraints and the cosmophenomenological consequences of thermal gravitino dark matter in light of PLANCK and PDG data. Finally, we have also established a direct cosmophenomenological connection among dark matter relic abundance, reheating temperature and tensor-to-scalar ratio in the context of DBI Galileon inflation.

Low & high scale MSSM inflation, gravitational waves and constraints from Planck
In this paper we will analyze generic predictions of an inflection-point model of inflation with Hubble-induced corrections and study them in light of the Planck data. Typically inflection-point models of inflation can be embedded within Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) where inflation can occur below the Planck scale. The flexibility of the potential allows us to match the observed amplitude of the TT-power spectrum of the cosmic microwave background radiation with low and high multipoles, spectral tilt, and virtually mild running of the spectral tilt, which can put a bound on an upper limit on the tensor-to-scalar ratio, r ≤ 0.12. Since the inflaton within MSSM carries the Standard Model charges, therefore it is the minimal model of inflation beyond the Standard Model which can reheat the universe with the right thermal degrees of freedom without any dark-radiation.

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 $(4.8 - 5.1)\times 10^{-7}$.
