Tests of second-class currents
Abstract We argue that the presence of second-class neutral currents can be tested from the observations of η→π 0 ν l ν l and electron polarisation in η → π 0 e + e - . Consequences of this model in η → π ± e ∓ ν e , τ ± → ηπ ± ν τ and τ ± → ωπ ± ν τ decays which would establish second-class charged currents are also discussed.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Higgs inflation from new Kähler potential
Abstract We introduce a new class of models of Higgs inflation using the superconformal approach to supergravity by modifying the Kahler geometry. Using the above-mentioned mechanism, we construct a phenomenological functional form of a new Kahler potential followed by construction of various types of models which are characterized by a superconformal symmetry breaking parameter χ . Depending on the numerical values of χ we classify the proposed models into three categories. Models with minimal coupling are identified by χ = ± 2 3 branch which are made up of shift symmetry preserving flat directions. We also propose various other models by introducing a non-minimal coupling of the inflaton field to gravity described by χ ≠ 2 3 branch. We employ all these proposed models to study the inflationary paradigm by estimating the major cosmological observables and confront them with recent observational data from WMAP9 along with other complementary data sets, as well as independently with PLANCK. We also mention an allowed range of non-minimal couplings and the Yukawa type of couplings appearing in the proposed models used for cosmological parameter estimation.

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.

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.

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.

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.
