GENERALIZED SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS IN PRESENCE OF INTERACTING DBI ESSENCE AND OTHER DARK ENERGIES
In the present work we investigated the validity of the generalized second law (GSL) of thermodynamics in the presence of interaction between DBI-essence and other four candidates of dark energy, namely the modified Chaplygin gas, hessence, tachyonic field and new agegraphic dark energy. It has been observed that the GSL breaks down in the presence of the interactions. However, the event horizon remains to be an increasing function of time.

Interacting Ricci dark energy in scalar Gauss-Bonnet gravity
Abstract.This paper reports a study on the cosmological application of interacting Ricci Dark Energy (RDE) density in the scalar Gauss-Bonnet framework. The interacting holographic RDE model has been employed to obtain the equation of state (EoS) in a spatially flat universe. The main results of this paper are that the reconstructed potential of scalar Gauss-Bonnet gravity for the interacting RDE model decays with the evolution of the universe. However, it is an increasing function of the scalar field $ \phi$ . Both the strong and weak energy conditions are violated. A phantom-like behavior of the EoS parameter has been obtained. The effective EoS parameter $ \omega_{eff}$ stays below -1 but tends to -1 with the evolution of the universe. However, it cannot cross the phantom boundary. Finally, the interacting RDE model in Gauss-Bonnet gravity gives accelerated expansion of the universe.

Correspondence between f(G) gravity and holographic dark energy via power-law solution
In this paper, we discuss cosmological application of holographic Dark Energy (HDE) in the framework of f(G) modified gravity. For this purpose, we construct f(G) model with the inclusion of HDE and a well-known power law form of the scale factor a(t). The reconstructed f(G) is found to satisfy a sufficient condition for a realistic modified gravity model. We find quintessence behavior of effective equation of state (EoS) parameter ωDE through energy conditions in this context. Moreover, we observe that the squared speed of sound $v_{s}^{2}$ remains negative, which indicates the instability of HDE f(G) model.

Interaction Between DBI-Essence and Other Dark Energies
The present work considers interaction between DBI-essence and other candidates of dark energies like modified Chaplygin gas, hessence, tachyonic field, and new agegraphic dark energy. The potentials of the fields have been reconstructed under interaction and their evolutions have been viewed against cosmic time t and scalar field φ. Equation of state parameters have also been obtained. The nature of potentials and the equation of state parameters of the dark energies have been found graphically in presence of interaction (both small and large interaction).

New Agegraphic Dark Energy model in chameleon Brans-Dicke cosmology for different forms of the scale factor
In this work, we study the New Agegraphic Dark Energy (NADE) model (which contains the conformal time η as infrared cut-off) in the framework of Brans-Dicke cosmology with chameleon scalar field which is non-minimally coupled to the matter field. Considering interacting Dark Energy and Dark Matter (DM), we calculate some relevant cosmological parameters, i.e. the equation of state (EoS) parameter, the deceleration parameter q and the evolution of the energy density parameter $\varOmega_{D}'$ for different forms of scale factors, i.e. the power-law, the emergent, the intermediate and the logamediate ones, which leads to different expressions of η.

Power Law and Logarithmic Ricci Dark Energy Models in Hořava-Lifshitz Cosmology
In this work, we studied the Power Law and the Logarithmic Entropy Corrected versions of the Ricci Dark Energy (RDE) model in a spatially non-flat universe and in the framework of Hořava-Lifshitz cosmology. For the two cases containing non-interacting and interacting RDE and Dark Matter (DM), we obtained the exact differential equation that determines the evolutionary form of the RDE energy density. Moreover, we obtained the expressions of the deceleration parameter q and, using a parametrization of the equation of state (EoS) parameter ωD given by the relation ωD(z) = ω0+ω1z, we derived the expressions of both ω0 and ω1. We interestingly found that the expression of ω0 is the same for both non-interacting and interacting case. The expression of ω1 for the interacting case has strong dependence from the interacting parameter b2. The parameters derived in this work are done in small redshift approximation and for low redshift expansion of the EoS parameter.

Time of flight (TOF) spectrometer for accurate measurement of mass and angular distribution of fission fragments in heavy ion induced fission reactions
Abstract The performance of a dual time of flight (TOF) spectrometer using two 24 cm×10 cm area X – Y position sensitive Multi-Wire Proportional Counters (MWPC) is reported. Good separation of compound nuclear fission channel from elastic, quasi-elastic and non-compound fission channels have been achieved. Time calibration of the spectrometer using a technique, dependent on the detector independence of the mass or kinetic energy distributions gave a three times better mass resolutions compared to the conventional calibration technique using elastically scattered projectiles in a heavy ion induced fission reaction. Detail experimental methods in determining fission fragment mass and angular distribution have been presented and discussed.

Role of Lasers in Linear Accelerators
While time-dependent electromagnetic fields using microwave technology have been exploited for decades in acceleration and manipulation of charged particle beams, modern lasers stand poised to be exploited for these purposes with great promise. The advent of compact sub-picosecond terawatt lasers has renewed the interest in phenomena that involve scattering or collective interaction of lasers with relativistic particles for various purposes such as diagnostics and control of beams, ultra-high gradient particle acceleration, laser-driven high brightness particle sources, etc. We will give examples of laser-linac interaction already in use or being contemplated in such areas as TeV-scale gamma-gamma colliders, laser monitoring of beams, laser injectors and prospects for laser acceleration of particles.

Transverse envelope dynamics of a 28.5-GeV electron beam in a long plasma.
The transverse dynamics of a 28.5-GeV electron beam propagating in a 1.4 m long, (0-2)x10(14) cm(-3) plasma are studied experimentally in the underdense or blowout regime. The transverse component of the wake field excited by the short electron bunch focuses the bunch, which experiences multiple betatron oscillations as the plasma density is increased. The spot-size variations are observed using optical transition radiation and Cherenkov radiation. In this regime, the behavior of the spot size as a function of the plasma density is well described by a simple beam-envelope model. Dynamic changes of the beam envelope are observed by time resolving the Cherenkov light.

Progress on plasma lens experiment at the final focus test beam
The Plasma Lens Collaboration proposed and has been approved to perform the Plasma Lens Experiment at the Final Focus Test Beam (SLAC E-150bis). The experiment is a revised and simplified proposition which reflects the pertinent scientific and technological advances since an earlier proposal (1) was submitted. The goals of the experiment are to study plasma focusing of high energy, high density particle beams: to investigate plasma beamsstrahlung suppression: and to develop technologies for plasma lens applications in present and future linear colliders.

Abrupt change of rotation axis inAg109
The electromagnetic transition rates for all the high spin levels of the yrast sequence of 109 Ag have been measured. The observed behavior of the magnetic dipole transition rates as a function of angular momentum establishes that there is a sudden change in rotation axis associated with rotational alignment of two neutrons. The projected shell model calculations give a consistent picture of the observed phenomena in 109 Ag.
