Probing the effect of different cross-sections in asymmetric collisions
We present a complete systematic theoretical study of multifragmentation for asymmetric colliding nuclei for heavy-ion reactions in the energy range between 50 MeV/nucleon and 1000 MeV/nucleon by using isospin dependent quantum molecular dynamics (IQMD) model. We have observed an interesting outcome for asymmetric colliding nuclei. The comparison between the symmetric and asymmetric colliding nuclei for the isospin independent cross section and isospin dependent cross section has been studied. We have found the pronounced effect of different cross section and mass asymmetry on the nuclear reaction dynamics.

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 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.

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.

Rapidity distribution dependence of the transition energy in heavy-ion collisions
For the present analysis, simulations are carried out for thousand of events for the reaction of 79Au197 + 79Au197 at semi-central geometry using a hard equation of state. The whole of the analysis is performed for light charged particles (LCP's). The transition from in-plane to out-of-plane is observed only when the mid-rapidity region is included in the rapidity bin otherwise no transition is observed. The transition energy is found to be strongly dependent on the size of the rapidity bin. The transition energy is parameterized with a straight line interpolation.

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.

Anisotropic model of a dark energy dominated universe with hybrid expansion law
The dynamics of the Universe is studied in the framework of a spatially homogeneous Bianchi-V space-time filled with a perfect fluid composed of non-interacting matter and dynamical dark energy components. We determine the Bianchi-V space-time by considering a hybrid expansion law (HEL) for the average scale factor that yields power-law and exponential-law cosmologies in its special cases. In the HEL cosmology, the Universe exhibits a transition from deceleration to acceleration. We find that the HEL Universe in the framework of Bianchi-V space-time is anisotropic at early stages of evolution and becomes isotropic at late times. The dynamic dark energy in this Universe does not show a departure from the usual cosmological constant at later times.

Early viscous universe with variable gravitational and cosmological ‘constants’
Einstein's field equations with variable gravitational and cosmological 'constants' are considered in the presence of bulk viscosity for a spatially flat homogeneous and isotropic universe. Solutions are obtained by using a 'gamma-law' equation of state p = (? ? 1)?, where the adiabatic parameter ? varies continuously as the universe expands. A unified description of the early evolution of universe is presented with a number of possible assumptions on the bulk viscous term and gravitational constant in which an inflationary phase is followed by radiation-dominated phase. We investigate the cosmological model with constant and time-dependent bulk viscosity (proportional to power function of energy density and to Hubble parameter) along with constant and variable gravitational constant. The effect of viscosity is shown to affect the past and future of the universe. In all cases, the cosmological constant ? is found to be positive and a decreasing function of time, which supports the results obtained from recent supernovae Ia observations. The possibility that the present acceleration of the universe is driven by a kind of viscous fluid is explained. At the background level this model is similar to the generalized Chaplygin gas model. The physical and geometrical significance of the early cosmological models has also been discussed.

Sensitivity of elliptical flow in intermediate energy heavy-ion collisions
The detailed analysis of excitation function of elliptical flow by taking into account the nature of equation of state, nucleon-nucleon cross sections as well as momentum dependent interactions is performed within Quantum Molecular Dynamics (QMD)model. All the observables are found to sensitive towards the elliptical flow. The transition energy is found to be decrease with increase in the size of the fragment in the presence of static equation of state as well as with large cross sections, while, trend gets opposite when momentum dependent interactions are included. At last, the experimental data is verified with static hard equation of state in the presence of large cross sections.

Experimental study of nuclei in the vicinity of the 'island of inversion' through the fusion-evaporation reaction
We report the observation of high-spin states in nuclei in the vicinity of the 'island of inversion', populated via the {sup 18}O+{sup 18}O fusion reaction at an incident beam energy of 34 MeV. The fusion reaction mechanism circumvents the limitations of other reactions used so far to populate excited states in these nuclei. The level structures of {sup 33,34}P and {sup 33}S have been investigated and their level schemes were substantially extended. The intensities and branching ratios of the {gamma} transitions were measured. The observed {gamma} coincidence intensity anisotropy and polarization asymmetry were analyzed for a consistent assignment of the spins and parities of the nuclear levels. The 1876-keV transition in {sup 34}P that had an ambiguous multipolarity assignment has been confirmed to be a mixed transition. Truncated (1p-1h) shell model calculations within the 'sdpf' valence space were performed. These calculations reproduce the experimental excitation energies of {sup 34}P but fail to explain the observed mixing ratio for the 1876-keV transition.

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.
