Same sign top-pairs in a non-universal Z' model at the LHC
We analyse same sign dilepton signatures in a non-universal flavor changing Z' model. These arise due to tt (or t_bar t_bar) production processes due to the semi-leptonic decays of (anti)tops. We also discuss top reconstruction and spin measurement using the variable MT2 and MT2-Assisted On-Shell (MAOS) Momentum} techniques and will also provide a comparison with the on-shell mass relation method. Sensitivities to the flavor-changing top coupling has also been estimated for different LHC energies and projected LHC luminosities corresponding to them.

The Impossibility of heavy neutrino dark matter in the Littlest Higgs Model with T-parity: Constraints from direct search
We consider the Littlest Higgs Model with T-parity (LHT), in the parameter region where a heavy neutrino is the lightest T-odd particle (LTP). Having emphasized that this corresponds to a sizable region in the parameter space of the theory, we show that both the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS) and Xenon10 experiments disallow the entire region where the masses of the new particles in LHT can lie within several TeV. Therefore, any observation of the signals of a heavy neutrino LTP is likely to seriously reopen the issue of cold dark matter in the universe.

Peccei-Quinn violating minimal supergravity and a 126 GeV Higgs boson
In a Peccei-Quinn extension of supergravity the h --> \gamma\gamma detection rate can be significantly enhanced due to the reduction of the total Higgs decay width. To assess the viability of various Peccei-Quinn extensions of minimal supergravity we perform a Bayesian analysis on three such scenarios. The main constraints on these models come from the currently observed Higgs boson like state by the Large Hadron Collider and from the WMAP observation of dark matter abundance. Our comparative study reveals that under these constraints the PQ violating scenarios with axino dark matter are clearly preferred over the minimal supegravity model with the lightest neutralino as a dark matter candidate.

CP violating anomalous top-quark couplings at the Large Hadron Collider
In this talk, I review the T-odd correlations induced by CP violating anomalous top-quark couplings at both production and decay level in the process gg --> t t_bar --> (b mu+ nu_mu) (b_bar mu-nu_mu_bar). In addition I will also focus on experimental sensitivities corresponding to the anomalous couplings at the LHC.

Right-chiral sneutrinos and long-lived staus: Event characteristics at the CERN Large Hadron Collider
We investigate the signals of a supersymmetric scenario where the lighter tau-sneutrino is the lightest supersymmetric particle, while the lighter stau-state is the next lightest. We confirm that such a scenario can be motivated within the framework of minimal supergravity, with just the addition of a right-chiral neutrino superfield. Such a spectrum leads to rather unusual signals of supersymmetry, showing stable tracks of the stau in the muon chambers. We have studied two types of signals, namely (a) two or more hard jets and two stau tracks, and (b) hard jets with two muons and two stau tracks. We demonstrate that the stau tracks can be distinguished from the muonic ones through proper kinematic cuts which also enable one to remove all standard model backgrounds.

Operator relations and chemical effects on chiral dynamics in QCD
We discuss effects of chemical potential on the dynamics of chiral transition by the Taylor expansion method in lattice QCD. Operators and their Taylor expansions which characterise the chiral dynamics are related through Maxwell’s relations and Chiral Ward identities. This reduces the computation to just measuring the renormalized expectation values of the chiral condensate and its Taylor coefficients. The various relations can then be used to extract information of the operators responsible for the characteristics of the chiral dynamics.

Representations of fermionic correlators at finite temperatures
The symmetry group of the staggered fermion transfer matrix in a spatial direction is constructed at finite temperature. Hadron-like operators carrying irreducible representations of this group are written down from the breaking of the zero temperature group. Analysis of the correlators in free field theory suggests new measurements which can test current interpretations.

Properties of the largest fragment in multifragmentation: A canonical thermodynamic calculation
Many calculations for the production of light and intermediate particles resulting from heavy ion collisions at intermediate energies exist. Calculations of properties of the largest fragment resulting from multifragmentation are rare. In this paper we compute these properties and compare them with the data for the case of gold on carbon. We use the canonical thermodynamic model. The model also gives a bimodal distribution for the largest fragment in a narrow energy range.

Microscopic nucleon optical model potential at low energies
Nuclear optical model potentials at low energies have been computed utilizing the two (Micro I and Micro II) versions of the microscopic optical model of Jeukenne et al. A comparison has been made of the experimental nucleon-nucleus interaction data for E<10 MeV with the theoretical predictions obtained using the microscopic optical model.
