Absence of M2 Retardation in $^{35}Cl$: Evidence for Stronger Isospin-Mixing Effects in A=35 Mirror Nuclei
The lifetime of the 3163 keV, 7/2$^-$ isomeric state in $^{35}Cl$ that decays by a stretched M2 transition to the $3/2^+$ ground state, has been re-measured using the Doppler Shift Attenuation Method, by gating on the 1185 keV transition which directly feeds this state. This eliminates the uncertainties in the measurement arising from the direct feedings from the continuum. A mean life of 0.6$^{+0.5}_{-0.2}$ ps has been obtained from the present work. This is considerably smaller than the adopted value 45.3(6) ps. Implication of this major reduction in the lifetime has been pointed out.

High voltage characteristic of large area cathode pad chambers for muon spectrometer of ALICE
AbstractLarge area Cathode Pad Chambers (CPC) with inner and outer radii of 23.7 cm and 117 cm respectively have been fabricated and tested for 2nd Tracking station of Muon Spectrometer of ALICE.The active area of this detector has a radiation length of less than 2 % and the frames are fabricated with Peek GF-30. The anode wire plane consists of 474 anode wires of which 53 % have lengths greater than 1 meter. The separation between the wire plane and the grounded cathode plane is 2.5 mm. The high voltage behaviour of the chamber have been tested under two situations.
With no support below the wires to reduce sagging of long wires.With a G10 strip-support whose dimension is 950 mm × 2 mm × 2.4 mm.
 The High Voltage (HV) tests show that a better stability is achieved when the strip support is implemented. Therefore this solution has been adopted for operation in ALICE.

Real Time Global Tests of the ALICE High Level Trigger Data Transport Framework
The High Level Trigger (HLT) system of the ALICE experiment is an online event filter and trigger system designed for input bandwidths of up to 25 GB/s at event rates of up to 1 kHz. The system is designed as a scalable PC cluster, implementing several hundred nodes. The transport of data in the system is handled by an object-oriented data flow framework operating on the basis of the publisher-subscriber principle, being designed fully pipelined with lowest processing overhead and communication latency in the cluster. In this paper, we report the latest measurements where this framework has been operated on five different sites over a global north-south link extending more than 10,000 km, processing a ldquoreal-timerdquo data flow.

Small quadrupole deformation for the dipole bands in 112 In
High spin states in 112 In were investigated using the 100 Mo( 16 O ,p 3n) reaction at 80 MeV. The excited level has been observed up to 5.6 MeV excitation energy and spin ∼20¯ h with the level scheme showing three dipole bands. Polarization and lifetime measurements were carried out for the dipole bands. Tilted axis cranking model calculations were performed for different quasiparticle configurations of this doubly odd nucleus. Comparison of the calculations of the model with the B(M1) transition strengths of the positive- and negative-parity bands firmly established their configurations.

Behaviour of interacting Ricci dark energy in logarithmic f(T) gravity
In the present work we have considered a modified gravity dubbed as "logarithmic $f(T)$ gravity" and investigated the behavior of Ricci dark energy interacting with pressureless dark matter. We have chosen the interaction term in the form $Q\propto H\delta\rho_{m}$ and investigated the behavior of the Hubble parameter $H$ as a function of the redshift $z$. For this reconstructed $H$ we have investigated the behavior of the density of the Ricci dark energy $\rho_{RDE}$ and density contribution due to torsion $\rho_{T}$. All of the said cosmological parameters are seen to have increasing behavior from higher to lower redshifts for all values of $c^{2}$ pertaining to the Ricci dark energy. Subsequently, we observed the equation of state parameter $w_{RDE}$ in this situation. The equation of state parameter is found to behave like phantom for all choices of $c^{2}$ in the Ricci dark energy.

A Dark Energy Model with Higher Order Derivatives of $H$ in the $f(R,T)$ Modified Gravity Model
We consider a model of dark energy (DE) which contains three terms (one proportional to the squared Hubble parameter, one to the first derivative, and one to the second derivative with respect to the cosmic time of the Hubble parameter) in the light of the modified gravity model, with and being two constant parameters. and represent the curvature and torsion scalars, respectively. We found that the Hubble parameter exhibits a decaying behavior until redshifts (when it starts to increase) and the time derivative of the Hubble parameter goes from negative to positive values for different redshifts. The equation of state (EoS) parameter of DE and the effective EoS parameter exhibit a transition from to (showing a quintom-like behavior). We also found that the model considered can attain the late-time accelerated phase of the universe. Using the statefinder parameters and , we derived that the studied model can attain the phase of the universe and can interpolate between dust and phase of the universe. Finally, studying the squared speed of sound , we found that the considered model is classically stable in the earlier stage of the universe but classically unstable in the current stage.

A Study on the Interacting Ricci Dark Energy in f(R, T) Gravity
The present work reports study on the interacting Ricci dark energy in a modified gravity theory named f(R, T) gravity. In the specific model f(R, T) = μR + νT we have observed a quintom-like behavior of the equation of state parameter and a transition from matter dominated to dark energy density has been observed through fraction density evolution. The statefinder parameters reveal that the model interpolates between dust and $$\Uplambda\hbox{CDM}$$ΛCDM phases of the universe.

QCD ghost reconstruction of f(T) gravity in flat FRW universe
Abstract.The present paper reports a reconstruction scheme for f(T) gravity based on QCD ghost dark energy. Two models of f(T) have been generated and the pressure and density contributions due to torsion have been reconstructed. Two realistic models have been obtained and the effective equations of state have been studied. Also, the squared speed of sound has been studied to examine the stability of the models.
