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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

DBI Galileon inflation in background SUGRA
Abstract We introduce a model of potential driven DBI Galileon inflation in background N = 1 , D = 4 SUGRA. Starting from D4– D 4 ¯ brane–antibrane in the bulk N = 2 , D = 5 SUGRA including quadratic Gauss–Bonnet corrections, we derive an effective N = 1 , D = 4 SUGRA by dimensional reduction, that results in a Coleman–Weinberg type Galileon potential. We employ this potential in modeling inflation and in subsequent study of primordial quantum fluctuations for scalar and tensor modes. Further, we estimate the major observable parameters in both de Sitter ( DS ) and beyond de Sitter ( BDS ) limits and confront them with recent observational data from WMAP7 by using the publicly available code CAMB.

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.

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.
