Neutrino Parameter Space for a Vanishing ee Element in the Neutrino Mass Matrix
The consequences of a texture zero at the ee entry of neutrino mass matrix in the flavor basis, which also implies a vanishing effective Majorana mass for neutrinoless double beta decay, have been studied for Majorana neutrinos. The neutrino parameter space under this condition has been constrained in the light of all available neutrino data including the CHOOZ bound on .

MODEL INDEPENDENT CONSTRAINTS ON NON-ELECTRONIC FLAVORS IN THE SOLAR BORON NEUTRINO FLUX
We perform the most general model-independent analysis of the latest 391-Day Salt Phase SNO Data Set incorporating the super-Kamiokande ES flux measurement and obtain bounds on the antineutrino and sterile neutrino flux in the solar 8B neutrino flux reaching the detectors on the earth. The muon/tauon antineutrino flux is found to be disallowed at 1.4σ C.L. The sterile flux is found to be nonzero at about 1.26 standard deviations.

CP-odd weak basis invariants and texture zeros
We construct the CP-odd weak basis invariants from the neutrino mass matrix in a weak basis, in which the charged lepton mass matrix is diagonal, and find the necessary and sufficient conditions for CP conservation. We study the interrelationships between different CP-odd weak basis invariants to examine their implications for the Dirac- and Majorana-type CP violating phases for the phenomenologically allowed Frampton-Glashow-Marfatia texture zero structures of the neutrino mass matrix.

Unitarity constraints on trimaximal mixing
When the neutrino mass eigenstate {nu}{sub 2} is trimaximally mixed, the mixing matrix is called trimaximal. The middle column of the trimaximal mixing matrix is identical to tribimaximal mixing and the other two columns are subject to unitarity constraints. This corresponds to a mixing matrix with four independent parameters in the most general case. Apart from the two Majorana phases, the mixing matrix has only one free parameter in the CP conserving limit. Trimaximality results in interesting interplay between mixing angles and CP violation. A notion of maximal CP violation naturally emerges here: CP violation is maximal for maximal 2-3 mixing. Similarly, there is a natural constraint on the deviation from maximal 2-3 mixing which takes its maximal value in the CP conserving limit.

Phenomenology of Two-Texture Zero Neutrino Mass Matrices
The generic predictions of two-texture zero neutrino mass matrices in the flavor basis have been examined especially in relation to the degeneracies between mass matrices within a class and interesting constraints on the neutrino parameters have been obtained. It is shown that the knowledge of the octant of ${\ensuremath{\theta}}_{23}$, the sign of $\mathrm{cos}﻿\ensuremath{\delta}$, and neutrino mass hierarchy can be used to lift these degeneracies.

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.

Effect of Symmetry Energy on Intermediate Mass Fragments Production
The science of nuclear physics deals with the properties of nuclear matter which makes up the massive centre of the atom. When two heavy nuclei collide at high energy, they create strongly interacting matter at energy densities far above that of normal nuclei. Depending upon the energy through which two nuclei collide different type of phenomena occurs. When energy of colliding nuclei is between 100-600 MeV/nucleon then multifragmentation take place. By studying the fragments (at final stage of reaction) we can seize the idea about initial condition and various other parameter which influence the reaction and vice-versa. The symmetry energy Esym (ρ) of nuclear matter characterizes how the energy rises as one move away from equal numbers of neutrons and protons. Both the magnitude and density dependence of Esym (ρ) are critical for understanding the structure of rare isotopes and the reaction mechanism of heavy ion collisions but also many interesting issues in astrophysics. The best estimate of the density dependence of the symmetry energy can be parameterized as[3]

Phase space analysis of fragmentation and the role of mass asymmetry
Based on the quantum molecular dynamics picture, we aim to understand heavy-ion collisions in terms of participant spectator matter leading to various fragments of different sizes. The study is performed for symmetric as well as asymmetric reactions at E = 200 MeV nucleon−1 for central collisions. Our results highlight the importance of a phase space analysis of the fragment distribution in symmetric and asymmetric collisions in terms of light mass fragments that are a component of participant matter and intermediate mass fragments, which come from the spectator region.

Influence of momentum dependent interactions on nuclear stopping in symmetric heavy-ion collisions
The role of momentum dependent interactions is studied in nuclear stopping at intermediate energy using an isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics model. Present calculations are performed at incident energy between 50 and 1000 MeV/nucleon. Our findings show that nuclear stopping is sensitive towards the impact parameter, incident energies as well as towards the mass of the colliding system. Further, the degree of stopping is suppressed by the inclusion of momentum dependent interactions, whereas the particle production is not affected by the MDI.

On nuclear stopping in asymmetric colliding nuclei
Abstract Using the isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics (IQMD) model, nuclear stopping is analyzed in asymmetric colliding channels by keeping the total reacting mass fixed. The calculations have been performed by varying the mass asymmetry of the colliding pairs with different neutron–proton ratios at an incident beam energy of 250 MeV/nucleon. We find sizable effects of mass asymmetry on nuclear stopping and on the equilibrium of the nuclear matter. A reasonable agreement is also observed between the experimental data and our present calculations.
