Production of light and intermediate mass fragments using various clusterization algorithms
For the present analysis we simulate the reaction 129Xe 54+197Au79 at E=50 MeV/nucleon respectively[3]. This reaction is simulated at different impact parameters using hard equation of state. The stored phase space is then analyzed by using MST, MSTP and MSTB algorithms. MSTB and MSTP identifies the free nucleons as early as possible. In the two cases, a check in the form of binding energy and momentum cut helps to identify the fragments quite early. The normal MST takes quite a long time to identify the stable fragments which are residual of excited fragments.

Effect of density dependent symmetry energy on fragmentation
The effect of the density dependence of symmetry energy on fragmentation is studied using isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics model(IQMD) Model. We have used the reduced isospin-dependent cross-section with soft equation of state to explain the experimental findings for the system 79Au197 + 79Au197 for the full colliding geometry. In addition to that we have tried to study the collective response of the momentum dependent interactions(MDI) and symmetry energy towards the multifragmentation.

Influence of charge asymmetry and isospin dependent cross-section on nuclear stopping
Using the isospin dependent quantum molecular dynamics model, we study the effect of charge asymmetry and isospin dependent cross-section on nuclear stopping and multiplicity of free nucleons and LMF’s. Simulations were carried out for the reactions 124 Xm + 124 Xm, where m varies from 47 to 59 and for 40 Yn+ 40 Yn, where n varies from 14 to 23. Our study shows that nuclear stopping as well as the production of LMF’s depend strongly on the isospin of the cross-section.

Effect of isospin dependent cross-section on nuclear stopping
Nuclear stopping in heavy ion collisions (HIC) has been studied by means of rapidity distribution and asymmetry of nucleon momentum distribution. It is an important quantity in determining the outcome of a reaction. Fen Fu {\it et al.,} \cite{2} calculate both the radial flow and the degree of nuclear stopping in Pb + Pb and Ni + Ni at 0.4, 0.8 and 1.2 GeV/neucleon. They found that the expansion velocity as well as the degree of nuclear stopping are higher in the heavier system at all energies.

The simulations of Ca-Ca collisions: Binary break-up, onset of multifragmentation and vaporization
The incomplete fusion, onset of multifragmentation and vaporization is studied in Ca-Ca collisions at bombarding energies between 20–1000 A MeV and at impact parameters between b=0 to bmax using quantum molecular dynamics model. We find incomplete fusion events at E/A=20 MeV. The light mass fragment production at a given incident energy does not show any rise and fall with a change in the impact parameter. Whereas, the IMF production at higher energies (≥ 150 A MeV) has a clear rise and fall.

Inflationary generalized Chaplygin gas and dark energy in light of the Planck and BICEP2 experiments
In this work, we study an inflationary scenario in the presence of Generalized Chaplygin Gas (GCG). We show that in Einstein gravity, GCG is not a suitable candidate for inflation; but in a five dimensional brane world scenario, it can work as a viable inflationary model. We calculate the relevant quantities such as $n_{s}$, $r$ and $A_{s}$ related to the primordial scalar and tensor fluctuations, and using their recent bounds from Planck and BICEP2, we constrain the model parameters as well as the five-dimensional Planck mass. But as a slow-roll inflationary model with a power-law type scalar primordial power spectrum, GCG as an inflationary model can not resolve the tension between results from BICEP2 and Planck with a concordance $\Lambda$CDM Universe. We show that going beyond the concordance $\Lambda$CDM model and incorporating more general dark energy behaviour, this tension may be eased. We also obtain the constraints on the $n_{s}$ and $r$ and the GCG model parameters using Planck+WP+BICEP2 data considering the CPL dark energy behaviour.

Complex-fragment emission in low-energy light-ion reactions
Inclusive energy spectra of the complex fragments (3 $\ensuremath{\le}$ Z $\ensuremath{\le}$ 5) emitted in the reactions ${}^{12}$C (77 MeV)+ ${}^{28}$Si, ${}^{11}$B (64 MeV)+ ${}^{28}$Si, and ${}^{12}$C (73 MeV)+ ${}^{27}$Al (all having the same excitation energy of $\ensuremath{\sim}$67 MeV), have been measured in the angular range of 10${}^{\ensuremath{\circ}}$ $\ensuremath{\lesssim}{\ensuremath{\theta}}_{\mathrm{lab}}\ensuremath{\lesssim}$ 60${}^{\ensuremath{\circ}}$. The fully energy-damped (fusion-fission) and the partially energy-damped (deep inelastic) components of the fragment energy spectra have been extracted. It has been found that the yields of the fully energy-damped fragments for all the above reactions are in conformity with the respective statistical model predictions. The time scales of various deep inelastic fragment emissions have been extracted from the angular distribution data. The angular momentum dissipation in deep inelastic collisions has been estimated from the data and it has been found to be close to the corresponding sticking limit value.

Bianchi-I Space-time with Variable Gravitational and Cosmological “Constants”
We consider Einstein’s field equations with variable gravitational and cosmological “constants” for a spatially homogeneous and anisotropic Bianchi-I space-time. A law of variation for the Hubble parameter, which is related to the average scale factor and yields a constant value of the deceleration parameter, is assumed to solve the field equations. The gravitational constant is allowed to follow a power-law form. We find that a time-increasing gravitational constant is suitable for describing the present evolution of universe. The solutions reveal the dynamics of a universe, which expands forever. The physical interpretation of the solutions is discussed in detail.

Large-eddy simulations of fluid and magnetohydrodynamic turbulence using renormalized parameters
In this paper a procedure for large-eddy simulation (LES) has been devised for fluid and magnetohydrodynamic turbulence in Fourier space using the renormalized parameters. The parameters calculated using field theory have been taken from recent papers by Verma [1,2]. We have carried out LES on 643 grid. These results match quite well with direct numerical simulations of 1283. We show that proper choice of parameter is necessary in LES.

Non-Abelian Vortices at Weak and Strong Coupling in Mass Deformed ABJM Theory
We find half-BPS vortex solitons, at both weak and strong coupling, in the = 6 supersymmetric mass deformation of ABJM theory with U(N) × U(N) gauge symmetry and Chern-Simons level k. The strong coupling gravity dual is obtained by performing a k quotient of the = 8 supersymmetric eleven dimensional supergravity background of Lin, Lunin and Maldacena corresponding to the mass deformed M2-brane theory. At weak coupling, the BPS vortices preserving six supersymmetries are found in the Higgs vacuum of the theory where the gauge symmetry is broken to U(1) × U(1). The classical vortex solitons break a colour-flavour locked global symmetry resulting in non-Abelian internal orientational moduli and a CP1 moduli space of solutions. At strong coupling and large k, upon reduction to type IIA strings, the vortex moduli space and its action are computed by a probe D0-brane in the dual geometry. The mass of the D0-brane matches the classical vortex mass. However, the gravity picture exhibits a six dimensional moduli space of solutions, a section of which can be identified as the CP1 we find classically, along with a Dirac monopole connection of strength k. It is likely that the extra four dimensions in the moduli space are an artifact of the strong coupling limit and of the supergravity approximation.
